Posted October 26, 2003

I would highly recommend Hawley Public Schools as a place where you can safely and happily let your child recieve his/her education. With the amount of leadership and high level of commitment these teachers posses there isn't a better place to send your children! I would know I was one of the students for 13 years! And will be sending my children there someday!

The MCA-II is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Minnesota. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
