This school was doing a downward Spiral but has turned itself around and is now a Level 1 School. This school is the Epitome of "Melting Pot" Great Teachers! Great Kids = Excellence.


Posted February 21, 2007

I transferred my son to the LCCPS from a private school located in Lowell. The quality of his education improved dramatically due to the diverse curriculum (including languages, art and music at the elementary level), dedicated teachers and staff, and flexibility in tailoring education to 'fit' the child while maintaining high standards and consistency in learning. I love this school!!

My Daughter started in the Kindergarten program and is now finishing her second year at the Charter school. She has grown so much academically and socially. The school is wonderful and is growing yearly. The curriculum that is being intergrated into the daily routines is above and beyond the normal public system. Parent involvement is growing as well.

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.
