Johnson is not the nicest looking school around, but the teachers, overall really care about the students. The sixth grade team works well together to give the children a great education. The seventh grade team gives the children a little more freedom to be responsible for the work they complete and that continues with the eighth grade team. If your child has any problems or you have concerns, the teachers will work with you to find solutions to enable your child to perform at his/her best. My daughter has received an excellent education at Johnson Middle School. We will miss it greatly.

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.
