I am a 6th grade student at TMMS in cluster 2. I have heard a lot of rumors about this school being a school with really bad students in it. Well, I have been at the TMMS since the very begining of the year and all of the rumors I have heard are NOT true, so take my advice and dont listen to rumors.

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.
