My 5 year old son is a special needs kindergarten at the Mattahunt. He has been there for the past year and a half and loves it! He has made so much progress! Thank you to the wonderful teachers and therapists that work with him everyday!

My child went her last year for kindergarten. She developed a lot of new skills from her teacher. But I did not like the public school buses and the disrespectful children.

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.
