All 4 of my children have thrived at NFE! The teachers and principal are all very caring and pro active. One of my children has had some challenges and the entire staff has gone out of their way to support her as she progresses through the grades. She is doing wonderfully due to their dedication

Most supportive and nurturing environment I have ever seen in an Elementary school. We have a "typical" daughter and a son with special needs and both are thriving at NFE. Amazing integrated programs, small class sizes, great sense of community and caring. A creative, inspiring, challenging learning environment for all.

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.
