Holyoke MCAS results 2018: ‘Bright spots’ seen but ‘tremendous’ work needed, officials say
Progress is inching along with tons of work left to make the majority of the city’s public school students proficient in English, math and science, officials said Thursday after release of the spring 2018 MCAS results. “While our progress is steady and we have many bright spots to celebrate, tremendous and obvious work remains to improve and accelerate learning outcomes for all Holyoke students,” said Stephen K. Zrike, the state-appointed receiver in charge of managing the public schools.
