The Tiverton School Department has a total school population of 1922 students who are supported by a professional staff of 188 teachers and 74 non-certified support staff. The district is comprised of three elementary schools grades K-4, one middle school grades 5-8, and one high school grades 9-12. All five of the school department's schools have hosted successful SALT (School Accountability for Learning and Teaching) visits and our high school in 2002, received its 10-year accreditation from N.E.A.S.C. (New England Association of Schools and Colleges).

The Tiverton School Department is committed to standards-based instruction and performance on integrated K-12 continuum. High expectations for student performance are supported by a rigorous curriculum that is aligned to both state and national standards. Administrators are continually striving to build and improve our learning community by increasing student, parent and community involvement participation in support of our efforts to support high standards for both our faculty and students. Our goal is to provide every student the opportunity to excel and meet high standards in each of their classes at every grade level.

Several schools within the district were recognized by the RI Department of Education for high student achievement. The following schools met their Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) goal which has been established under the No Child Left Behind Act: Fort Barton Elementary School, Pocasset Elementary School, Ranger Elementary School, and Tiverton High School. Tiverton Middle School was classified as “With Caution.”
