The staff here is great. They really care about their students and go above and beyond for them.

My daughter attended this school. I didn't like the location, but everything else was absolutely amazing. All of the teachers, including the new ones were very well trained. Everything about this school stressed child education and parent involvement.

My son was switched from a private school to the Greenhalge during his Kindergarten year, and progressed in leaps and bounds immediately! All of his teachers have been absolutely wonderful! The school has many opportunities to participate in family fun activities where kids can be kids, and parents can interact with each other.

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.
