Record Number of Monty Tech Students Recognized at Annual Honor Roll Banquets

FITCHBURG--A total of 353 Monty Tech students were recognized at the annual Honor Roll Banquets, held recently at the school.

Sophomores, junior and seniors who earned honor-roll status all four quarters the previous school year are eligible for the distinction.

Students and their families are invited to attend a banquet, prepared by the cafeteria staff. Staff members volunteer to help with serving and clean-up.

In welcoming the guests, Principal Thomas R. Browne said this year’s recipients were the highest number to date to be honored.

He reported that the school’s current graduation rate was 99.7 percent, with a 0.1 percent drop-out rate. The recent MCAS scores, he added, were “very good, with 99 percent of students passing the ELA test. Biology test scores “exceeded the state average on every level,” he added.

Scores for students taking AP tests last spring were also commendable, he said. “We had the highest number of students earning qualifying scores, and 100 percent of students passed the AP Computer Principles,” he reported.

Sizer School still accepting applications for 2019-2020 school year

Lottery now open for 2020-2021 school year

“We know every student by name. We want every student to succeed and they are an active participant in their own learning. We challenge every student academically and watch them rise to the occasion,” says Recruitment and Communication Coordinator Lindsay Sauvageau.

“Project-based learning, differentiated instruction, understanding each student - these are the ways our teachers coach and guide. Learning isn’t just about memorization, it’s about gaining a greater understanding of how the world works so that you can leave Sizer and be your best person,” continued Sauvageau.

Sizer School, located at 500 Rindge Road in Fitchburg, is a free, public charter school serving students in grades seven through twelve. As a North Central Charter Essential School, Sizer students are known personally, challenged intellectually, and participate actively in their learning. Guided by its commitment to diversity and inclusiveness, the school seeks to send graduates into the world who THINK for themselves, CARE about others, and ACT creatively and responsibly. Currently Sizer School is still accepting applications for grades 7 and 9 for the 2019-2020 school year and will begin taking applications for the 2020-2021 school year on November 1, 2019.

“Our school is made up of 370 students from 25 cities and towns including Winchendon. Our class sizes are between 15-20 with a student teacher ratio of 11:1. Being able to offer that kind of instruction has a real impact on the quality of education we can offer” said Sauvageau.

Students at Sizer School have access to award-winning athletics and arts programs, as well as a full range of after-school activities like Chess Club and Dungeons and Dragons. At the high school level, students take part in AP courses such as AP Physics and AP Environmental Geography. Through the Early High School STEM program, Sizer students can obtain as many as 12 college credits by attending Fitchburg State University, or Dual Enroll at either FSU or Mount Wachusett Community College.

Most recently, Sizer School has begun implementing the i-Ready diagnostic program.

“i-Ready allows teachers to get real-time data on where a student is academically in ELA and Mathematics so that classroom instruction can be adjusted to meet the students where they are and provide the best instructional support to get them where they need to be. The results so far have been tremendous,” said Sauvageau.
