History

During the American Revolution, one of North Smithfield's first recorded schools was founded in the home of Elisha Thornton near modern-day Slatersville. In the 1800s many local students attended the private Bushee Academy (Smithfield Union Village Academy) in Union Village. The first school building located near the present school in Primrose, Rhode Island was known as the "Andrews School," originally a one-room wooden school house, first constructed in 1838. The wooden building was replaced by a larger brick building in the early twentieth century, which currently serves as the North Smithfield school superintendent's office, adjacent to the high school and middle school. [2] Prior to the completion of the 1989 school, North Smithfield students attended Kendall Dean School and Dr. Harry L. Halliwell School and temporarily St. Paul Street School in the late 1980s. In 2019 a large new addition to NSES was completed for additional students from the Halliwell School which closed that year.
