• Bridgewater-Raynham MCAS scores in free fall. Super's explanation? (enterprisenews.com) — Families in Raynham’s Bridgewater-Raynham school district are facing steep MCAS score declines, with English results dropping 28 points and math 20 points since before the pandemic, now below state averages. Superintendent Ryan Powers links the slide to COVID-era learning disruptions and a budget crisis that cut more than 70 positions, and outlines hopes that newer curricula will gradually lift performance again.
