I think ERAH is a good thing. My son does it and her likes it plus it helps them learn to read. I love this school.

My daughter goes to Goddard School of Science and Technology and she'd rather go to a private school!And she hates private schools! I just think that Goddard should get rid of E..R.A.H because my daughter says that it's really boring.Also the teachers should create a better learning enviroment by not leaving scissors and such lying where students may see and use inappropriately...if you know what I mean.

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.
