Teachers are great they go above and beyond for our children. Wish we had more involvement as parents and for the children with inschool activities. Kuodos for hiring our wounderful Waybright Staff, the greatest national resource is the minds of our children. A child miseducated is a child lost. Our Waybright teachers, you can not put a price on, they are worth so much more. Thank You for being a big part of our childrens lives.

I was a former student here I think it was a great school. Also the teachers there were alright. Also the principals were very nice.

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.
