Tiverton School District

All of Tiverton is proud of Pocasset Elementary School for earning a Blue Ribbon due to the school’s exemplary ability to close achievement gaps. This award recognizes our students’ eagerness to learn as well as their perseverance. The Blue Ribbon also recognizes the dedication of our leadership, educators and staff, and the support of the families we serve. Designation as a National Blue Ribbon School has been given to fewer than 1% of schools across the United States each year, and only 8% of schools nationally have ever earned this award. Congratulations to everyone who is a member of the Pocasset School community! What an honor! #PocassetPride #HearTheRoar #TivertonTigers #NBRS
