I am a student here and all teachers are wonderful! The principal is like a friend to me and my teachers Mrs.King, Ms.Oulett, Miss. Choen, and Ms.Camann are just amazing! After-school programs are a ball! I wish I didn't have to leave in 1 more year!

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.
