MMS is a small school with a big heart where academics are priority. Students are presented with a rigorous curriculum and encouraged to strive for excellence. Staff is dedicated to the premise that every child can learn given assistance and support. Families are supportive and engaged in the learning process.

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.
