disappointing.. when my other children attended this school it was a good school buth the new principal Carabatosos discriminates against students with special needs ... is inappropriate with teachers infront of students and is very unimaginative .. Cannot believe nthat this is the best the school department could do when hiring a new principal

I have taught at the Reilly school for 17 years. The administration and staff have always strived for academic excellence throught the latest pedological practices. The school has always been one of the top performing schools in the school system. Teachers work hard to meet the needs of all students. I am proud to be part of the staff.

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.
