—Submitted by a parent


Posted September 26, 2009

I am a parent of 2 Jenkins students. It's a wonderful school. Not only do we have fabulous hard working teachers, but we have an amazing staff as well. Our principal, John Willis, is the best principal I've ever come across. No matter what your issue is big or small he is available to sit and talk with you. He goes into the classrooms and sits with the kids and truly gets to know them. Regardless of your child's needs they make sure to fulfill them. Each and every child gets the best and comes out with a great education. We are so lucky to have such an amazing public elementary school for our kids to attend.

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.
