My child has been a student here since kindergarten. The staff is wonderful and I have never had a problem. My child has needed extra help within his learning abilities and this school has always been able to provide us with these services. I am very pleased with this school system and the faculty.

This is a terrible school. My children go here but I am trying to get them out. This whole district is very backwards, they have a great mission statement, talking about how important higher education is yet, they don't follow this. Somehow they are getting away with this. You should stand clear of this district if you can help it.

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.
