I am not impressed at all!! teachers not as caring as they use to be. what happened to i want to be a teacher to change the life of children??? sending my kid somewhere else in the new year. i'd give it less than a star if it wasn't for some teachers. unfortunately the good ones have retired or are on their way.. very sad.

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.
