My children started at Pine Hill and went through the whole Dover-Sherborn educational system. Pine Hill gave them an excellent foundation and love of learning that continues to this day (they are both in graduate schools). The individual attention and caring emanates throughout the school.

Both of my children went through Pine Hill and loved it. Academically, it was outstanding, but what really sets Pine Hill apart is the culture. Teachers who never had them in their classes knew my children by name. They really felt like they were part of a family.

Our daughter completed 1st grade this past June ('08) and will be beginning 2nd grade 9/08. Fabulous experience all around. Great scholastic/academic experience. Warm, friendly environment for both students and parents alike!

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.
