My son is in the 1st grade and loves his teacher and the school. The 1st grad program so far seems challenging and entertaining for the students. They have a new garding procedure so you can see how they are doing in the art and music areas as well as the main acadenic courses. The ASA (parent group) is a great way to get involved with other parents and support extra activites for the students.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Massachusetts used the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) to test students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in English language arts and math and in grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The grade 10 MCAS is a high school graduation requirement. The MCAS is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Massachusetts. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
