Munger Hill is a great school with great teachers! The teachers are truly there for the students and their specific needs! I have had many great experiences with almost all teachers and staff there and all are very welcoming and successful at their jobs. It is important to have your children go to a school where you know that their teachers have their best interests at hand and where the teachers give 100%+ to every child in their classrooms. I would send any child there in a heart beat. The academic standards are just where they should be, the extracurricular activities are wonderful because of the PTO and 5th grade student council. The one thing that could be a bit better is to have more sincere parent involvement...ones there for the right reasons, not to just be around and cause trouble. Munger Hill is a wonderful enviornment for any child!

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.
