Great school especially after school program. Principal is the worse, rude and mean. Academically great.

Great school, wonderful teachers and they work well together. There is a loving environment within the school. I've had children in the school since 2006. The principal changed in 2007 and that has been the one sour part. But the teachers as usual make up for the downfall. Great parent involvement.

I like the school, the location, the before & after programs, but the Principal is the ONLY glitch.

I was a former student of this school and the teachers helped you, not only in your studies, but also on a personal level. The school is so small that the people in it are very close and it is like a family.

I was very nervous about this school because my son was transferring from a private school and I knew nothing about public schools. The principal is #1 and the teachers really take a strong interest in every child. They have alots of resources for extra help and music, art and all sorts of clubs. Parent involvement is great, in fact the parents at the Everett are more involved than the parents at the private school he transferred out of. Great 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.
