Barry School has been wonderful. My child receives special education services there and I have been extremely happy since day 1. The principal there always has an open door and is willing to listen to your concerns and address them every time!

Barry School is outstanding! The principal is top notch. It is a small school so the children are able to get extra attention. Excellent teachers overall!

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.
