Easton Public Schools Excel in State Science Testing with KnowAtom Partnership

Fifth-grade students in Easton Public Schools have achieved remarkable results, scoring 12 points above the Massachusetts statewide average on the 2024 Massachusetts Common Assessment Program for Science (MCAS). With the implementation of KnowAtom's hands-on curriculum, these students improved proficiency by five points. KnowAtom is renowned for delivering Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)-based curricula nationwide.

The achievement highlights the effectiveness of KnowAtom’s curriculum in mastering the Massachusetts Science and Technology Engineering Frameworks. Recognizing Massachusetts' top-ranking public education status, two of the highest-performing science districts partner with KnowAtom. Assistant Superintendent Christine Pruitt commended the impact of KnowAtom’s professional development on teaching quality, emphasizing collaborative approaches in education.

Despite KnowAtom's K-5 focus, Easton's eighth-grade science scores also surged, outperforming the state average by 27 points. The district's Path to Recovery rating improved to "Path Forward" in most data subsets. Underlining the significance of partnerships, KnowAtom CEO Francis Vigeant praised Easton’s unified effort in fostering an empowering learning environment.
