This school does not deserve to have a one-star rating. The test scores are not as high as other schools, but that could certainly be directly related to the fact that 75%-85% of the students are second language learners and the tests are administered in English, a language many of them only speak at school. Or it could be related to the fact that 92% of the students live in poverty. It's hard to do well on a test in a language you don't fully understand, when you don't have a bed or you don't get the medication you need when you are sick, or you are homeless. These type of rankings are completely bogus. It tells you nothing useful at all, except that the students are not as good test takers as other schools.
Chicopee is a wonderful, warm place where the teachers work diligently to meet the needs of the students. Close Quote
