Harvard’s Hildreth Elementary School has been named as a School of Recognition by state education officials, one of 63 schools statewide. In grades 3 through 5, Hildreth students demonstrated learning growth, as measured by MCAS scores, that exceeded the state average. Superintendent Linda Dwight noted, “Student growth measures the academic progress each student makes from year to year, based on their prior performance, and is a powerful indicator of effective teaching and learning.” Said Principal Rebecca Katsh-Singer: “While MCAS represents just one of the many ways we assess student learning and growth, we are grateful for this recognition and proud of the hard work of our students and staff.”
