cent partially meeting targets), Malden (17 percent), Brockton (24 percent), Lynn English (34 percent) and Chelsea (21 percent). In all, 38 percent of students taking the MCAS were meeting or exceeding expectations and 45 percent partially meeting expectations for English language arts, and 34 percent were meeting or exceeding expectations and 50 percent partially meeting expectations for Mathematics. Those results also mean that the district will not require any special assistance from the state, as EHS Principal Erick Naumann touted to the School Committee on Monday night. “We don’t need the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education coming in and giving us assistance,� said Naumann. “That’s a positive thing, and that’s the first thing to look at.� Superintendent of Schools Fred Foresteire said the results are a “credit to our staff, and to our students, who are really ready to work.� “We’re very proud of what they’re doing at the high school, when you look at their demographics as well,� said Foresteire. Listed below are the percentage of Everett students who were determined to be“meeting or exceeding expectations� in their MCAS scores, as well as the state average for comparison: Grade 10 English language arts, 81 percent (state 91 percent) Mathematics, 58 percent (state: 78 percent)
