The style of the building itself is not the best model for learning, however, the principal is amazing and seems to know every kid and there are like 1,000 of them. Great leadership and caring for the kids.

Most aspects are wonderful, but God forbid you get the wrong teacher for your child because that's it, you are stuck there and it makes for a terrible year. Some of the teachers are mis-matched with the personalities of the students.

My daughter is in kindergarten and loves going to the Raymond School. My husband and I have been very impressed with everything the school has to offer from the start. If your child is entering kindergarten next year, please take a look at the Raymond, you will not be disappointed.

I love the Raymond School! My daughter has attended this school for the past 4 years. It is an excellent school. They have added junior high to the school this year and I'm so excited that my child doesn't have to go to another school until high school.

My children transferred into the Raymond from a private school and I am amazed at how wonderful every aspect of their new experience has been. To be honest, the Raymond school wasn't in our top 3 choices, but my husband and I are thrilled that it worked out the way it did! The principal's involvement is exceptional and my 3 kids love it here!! The staff makes each child feel special. It is an experience I am so thankful for.

I believe that the Raymond School is one of the best elementary schools in Brockton. My daughter has attended this school for two years and they have been two very great years. All of the staff at the Raymond are exceptionally wonderful!

About the tests

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.
