District Report Card
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has released the 2013 school and district report cards. Report cards for each of Leicester's schools are available on the school websites. In these reports, you will find information about each school’s overall performance, information about student enrollment and teacher qualifications, student achievement, accountability, how each school is performing in relation to other schools in the district and the state, and the progress we are making toward narrowing proficiency gaps for different groups of students. The link to the distict report card can be found here.
Leicester's Plan for Our Future
