I love the fact that my daughter, which is in Kindergarten comes home everyday with new fun things stories of things she did or learned in school. She wants to be a singer and loves the fact that she can get up on stage and sing in front of her friends.

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.
