Both my children have attended Hatherly. My daughter and son have received an excellent education. The staff is excellent at what they do and the class sizes overall are small. It is a true gem.

Excellent school. The principal is super involved, runs a tight ship, but is caring and knows the kids. For example she took the time to hand write a note of encouragement to the kids on report cards, and to learn each kid by name. Excellent teachers under her leadership. My kids were very well prepared for middle 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.
