My child is in their 3rd year at this school. While some of the teachers maybe great, there are several teachers and staff that are unprofessional and inappropriate with students. Our experience has not been positive. The educational expectations are low, it has been a disappointment to say the least.

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.
