I would expect you younger folks would know how to look that information up. As an old man who can look that up in my hood you should certainly not need to ask about your neighborhood. It sounds to me as if you guyz don't have a clue about any others in your area.

Why are my tax dollars going to educate kid that do not live in town. I think Patch needs to look into this and find out how many other out of town kids except Little Compton who pay the town attend Portsmouth schools?

People , park outside the schools sometime and watch the cars with Mass. plates drop off and pick up kids, something should be done, the cost per student/ per year is not cheap !

PHS has a program that services students throughout the region with certain needs, so my guess is this is why a Middletown resident is attending. There is a program like this in Middletown to service students from the region with these needs at the elementary level and one in Tiverton for middle school age students so each town shares in it.
