Commissioner’s Memo to Friends of Education
RICAS Results Show Higher Participation, Significant Increase in Math Proficiency
The 2022 RICAS results show that while a lot of work remains ahead to get our students back up to speed, Rhode Island is on its way to recovery.
We are encouraged that some districts have returned to their pre-pandemic levels or exceeded them, and that our statewide focus on math instruction and support led to a significant jump in math performance throughout the state.
The latest results, including school-by-school breakdowns, can be viewed online on
At RIDE, we are committed to supporting school leaders to better serve the needs of students and meet the priorities of their communities to help all students recover.
We share our deep gratitude with the educators and students who have shown resiliency in the face of unprecedented challenges and remain optimistic our students will continue to make up ground this school year.
In partnership,
Angélica Infante-Green
