Plymouth South High School would like to congratulate its
students on the impressive scores they received on the spring 2012 MCAS
tests. Every student who took the ELA
test earned a passing score! Better yet,
over 100 students earned scores in the “Advanced” category. Failures in the math and science categories
are in the single digits, and the good news is that our students are also
gaining more points on each of these tests.
For instance, the number of students who fell into the “Needs
Improvement” category in math has been declining and, in fact, is nearly half
the number of students in this category in 2009. There are also many more “Advanced” scores in
the math (over 100 students) and science (over 80 students) tests than in past
years.
We are proud of the students’ test results. We’d also like to thank all of the teachers,
tutors, and parents who ensured the students were prepared to do a good job
when the testing days arrived. Passing
the MCAS tests is a graduation requirement, and we want all Plymouth South High
School students to have a diploma that represents a high school experience that
has prepared them to be successful on their college or career paths.
