Report cards help parents/guardians and the general public see where schools and districts
are succeeding and where there is still work to do. This report card overview answers important questions about our school's performance. For the full
report card containing additional data contact the school's principal or visit the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s website at http://profiles.doe.mass.edu. For more information about report card data, visit our Profiles Help page.
How is our school doing overall?
Accountability and assistance levels
Our school
Students in this school participated in 2017 Next Generation MCAS tests
Our district
Students in grades 3-8 participated in 2017 Next Generation MCAS tests
Most schools are assigned a level from 1-5, with those meeting their proficiency gap-narrowing goals in Level 1 and the lowest performing in Levels 4 and 5.
A district is typically assigned a level based on the level of its lowest performing school. Placing schools and districts into levels helps districts know which schools need more support,
and helps the state know which districts need the most assistance.
