Faculty Licensure Information:

Student success is linked to the quality of a school’s instructional staff. The information below is divided into two parts: (1) the percentage of teachers who are certified or licensed to teach in Massachusetts and (2) the percentage of classes taught by teachers who are highly qualified in core academic areas such as mathematics, science, reading, history, English language arts, etc. Both pieces of information are intended to help you understand the backgrounds and preparation of the teachers who are working with your child. As you will see, most if not all teachers in the school are certified, and most, if not all, are highly qualified. Those who are not are either working on a waiver granted by the Massachusetts Department of Education, or are long-term or permanent substitutes. While qualified to teach within Massachusetts, certain teachers are now in the process of demonstrating subject matter competency through additional coursework. No Child Left Behind requires that all teachers be highly qualified by the end of the 2005-2006 school year, and thus what you will see in the percentages are indications of how far our school has to go in order to comply with this deadline.

Percent of elementary (K-6) teachers licensed: 100%

Percent of secondary (7-12) teachers licensed: 98%

Percent of district’s (K-12) teachers licensed: 99%

Percent of core academic classes taught by highly qualified elementary (K-6) teachers: 100%

Percent of core academic classes taught by highly qualified secondary (7-12) teachers: 98%

Percent of core academic classes taught by highly qualified (K-12) teachers: 99.32%
