Woodland Academy is one of the first Innovation Schools in Massachusetts. The focus of the whole school community is on character development, community responsibility and career readiness. The teachers are dedicated. They arrive early and stay late doing whatever it takes to support the progress of all students.

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.
