Old County Road School is a kindergarten through grade five elementary school in Smithfield, Rhode Island. Our faculty, staff, and administrator strive to create a joyful environment where students have a sense of belonging and significance. The Old County Road community, including all families, embraces the importance of educating the whole child. We realize that our students’ academic and social emotional well‑being are important to their healthy development as learners and members of our community.

Our focus is to provide a caring, consistent, and stable environment for our students.
