Carney cares about kids. They offer music, art, drama, and sports programs for the children. The magnet program allows for children from every background to have access to the education they deserve. They offer a leap pad program, and the 21st century program where children learn that they can accomplish great things and they can read. The principle and teachers make you feel welcome at all times and the adjustment counselors and nurses care deeply about the children's well-being. Children receive a well rounded and cultural education at this school.

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.
