Both of my girls (Grade 2 and GATE Grade 4) enjoy going to school everyday. They are both very smart, and are receiving a great education at the Greene Elementary School. The teachers are great! They encourage the students to do their best at all times, always taking the time to work on each child individual needs.

It seems to me that my child isn't being challenged enough at the Greene School. The problem is not enough parents get involved with their child's education so it takes longer for some kids to catch on with the classwork. It holds back the kids who have parents who care enough to teach their children on their own. Some parents beleive that its the teachers job to teach their children but its not. Teachers are there to assist parents and help create a general pattern of learning. I don't blame the school dept. for schools that don't perform well. I blame the parents.

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.
