Posted October 18, 2011

The reviews you have are totally outdated- New Principal and tornado damage as of June 1, 2011. Students now housed in temp classrooms in back of school-waiting for repairs. Students and Teachers have come a long way. Discipline is fair and meaningful. ALL students are treated the same except for intense needs and wants of students. Not much in way of parent involvement.
—Submitted by a teacher

Teachers dont treat all students the same.All the same rules do not aply to all students. Very unhappy.When theres a conflict with students they go by what other kids say and dont know or seen what happen.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted January 3, 2008

There are no strict safety issues. And discipline is always a suspension.They don't even talk to kids to find out the issue. And there is also a lack of extra curricular activities.

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.
