One-Room Island School With Five Pupils Faces Challenges
Prudence Island School in Rhode Island stands as one of New England’s last one room schools. Teacher William Bacon, 33, serves five students aged 10 to 17, balancing five separate lessons with no library, science equipment, athletic program, nurse, or buses. He drives the five students to class on a near-paved lone road to the 1896 structure, noting the peace misleads on practical limits.
