NORTH SMITHFIELD – The North Smithfield School Committee voted unanimously on Tuesday to lower the passing grade at the district’s middle and high schools to 65. According to Supt. Michael St. Jean, pictured, the district’s previous passing grade was 70, a measure he said didn’t align with the majority of schools in the state. “At some point in the past, it predates me, they made the change at NSHS that anything below a 70 was an F. What we did was we brought back the D,” he said. The vote passed with little discussion, but School Committee members offered their support for the measure during a previous meeting on Jan. 19. At the time, Assistant Supt. Clare Arnold said the change could help students struggling due to distance learning and the COVID-19 pandemic. Leaders at the middle school and high school, she said, were all in agreement it could make a significant difference for some students.
