MCAS Scores Released, One Class Struggles

The MCAS results were released and it's mostly good news- but 4th grade class is struggling.

 

MCAS exams for Dedham's public school were released, and the district did well as a whole, but there is one class that is struggling.

For Dedham High School there was good news because only 1% failed 10th grade science.  And the majority of students did very well in English and Math- no one failed.  So it was no surprise that the school ranks above average in the commonwealth.
