My child is in Kindergarten at the Mary E. Baker School and I am a member of the PTA. Donna Haymes (principal) is the kindest, sweetest woman and I am honored to have her as a leader of our school. She truely has our children as her priority. She is very creative with the activities and events she plans at the school. Everyone I have encountered at the school have been more than outstanding. My child's teacher, Mrs. Pike is is one of the most caring and attentive teachers I have ever known. I am lucky to have my child in such a wonderful school

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.
