Every year, each public school and school district in Massachusetts receives a report card. Just as your child’s report card shows how they are doing in different subjects, the school’s report card is designed to show families how our school is doing in different areas.
The report card includes multiple measures of a school’s performance – more than just MCAS scores. It represents a new way of looking at our school’s performance by providing information on student achievements, teacher qualifications, student learning opportunities, and more.
Report cards are designed to be useful tools for everyone connected to our school. Families can use the information to have meaningful conversations with us about what the school is doing well and where there is room for improvement. Community and education leaders can use the information to better understand how to support students and our school.
You will notice on our report card that we are doing well in many areas. To improve student performance in our school, we are continuing to monitor information related to achievement, growth, English learner progress, and chronic absenteeism.
Finally, if your child attends a school that receives federal Title I funds, you may request more information about the qualifications of your child’s teacher. This can include whether the teacher is licensed for the grade level and subject they teach, whether they are teaching under an emergency license or waiver or whether your child receives support from a paraprofessional, along with information about their qualifications.
We encourage you to become involved in helping us improve our school. We see families as critical partners in the success of our students and school, and we are grateful for your continued support.
