The Haley is a wonderful INCLUSION school. The Principal, Angel Charles, really gets kids and what they need to learn. We are very pleased that our daughter is being treated so well. The community has really reached out to make our family feel welcome. Great teachers, specialists, and support staff. All the live animals in the lobby of the school are an added bonus!!!

Great School! Teachers are always willing to help. My son came from NY and his teachers are making sure he is adapting to his new school. He is doing great thanks to their efforts.

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.
