What year did Rhodie Island establish public school systems?

Rhode Island didn't establish a statewide, unified public school system at a single point in time like some other states. The development of public education in Rhode Island was a gradual process spanning many decades. While some towns and cities had established schools earlier, a more comprehensive system began to emerge in the mid-19th century, particularly after the mid-1800s. There's no single year that marks its establishment.
