I really like Tracy school, my oldest son went to Tracy in the early 90s and now my twins who started kindergarten at Tracy now in fifth grade. The school offers many different activities before and after school as well as in school extra help classes. The teachers are excellent keeping parents well informed of the students academics. Dr. Dill has left and Ms. Griffin is now the principal and she is great, friendly and very out spoken making sure the students have and get everything they need for their education and extra curricular activities. Scheduled, routine, and keeping parents well informed well put together. The school is very old could use some work but the staff and students are great I totally recommend Tracy

I think Tracy is a great school. My daughters get a good education there. All the teachers are wonderful. Also Mrs. Dill does a great job as the principal.

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.
