Four East Bay schools will be honored Tuesday afternoon for achieving “Commended School” status from the state Department of Education.

Gov. Gina Raimondo and state education leaders will hand out the awards at 4:30 p.m. at Rockwell School in Bristol.

Receiving the award for the fourth time — the only schools commended so many times — are Tiverton’s Fort Barton Elementary School and Bristol’s Rockwell School.
