It gives my beautiful children (who are supa fine) a great learning facility. I love Ms. Cutter... (7th grade math teacher.) and I absolutly adore Ms.Meril (the school librarian. They are the nicest people to my kids.

The Harwich Middle School has a great academic program. Smaller classes, which allow teachers and students to learn more effectively. My son has really improved since moving to Harwich from Milford, MA.

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.
