it is awesome. it even has 5 soccer fields.
—Submitted by a student


Posted May 11, 2004

Very challenging academically compared to my child's previous district, which is a plus. Team philosophy and 'Star time' advisor models (the latter allowing each child to have one particular teacher get to know them well) has been beneficial. Extremely easy to access teachers and administrators with questions or concerns. Overall the school has provided an excellent middle school experience for my child. Of note, a single incidence during which my child was confronted inappropriately by another student was dealt with swiftly and decisively. They do not readily tolerate unacceptable behaviors here and that fosters a better environment for learning.

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.
