i review it a 5 star because every one feels safe there and it is very clean.

Posted October 3, 2008

I transferred my daughter from a private Christian school in the 7th grade. She flourished under the direction of her teachers, who were very attentive....and were great at communicating with me. I dealt mostly with the vice principal with the transfer and she made sure to keep in contact and at the end of the 8th grade, told me she hoped I'd made the right decision in transferring.

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.
