SCHOOL AND DISTRICT REPORT CARDS
Below is important information about how our schools have performed on the state assessment test, MCAS. There is also an overview report card for each school which provides information about how our schools compare to the state in many important measures such as class size, teacher qualifications and academic growth. For additional information about our schools please visit the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education School Profile website http://profiles.doe.mass.edu/. Starting in 2018, the Department of Education (DOE) also provides school report cards in an interactive format. Information about these report cards is below.
