Fall River Public Schools will still implement the MCAS test this school year, even though a state ballot measure passed to eliminate MCAS as a graduation requirement.

Because MCAS test scores may have kept students from crossing the stage between 2003 and 2024, the school district will confer diplomas to any student who met all other graduation requirements after a full transcript review is conducted.

In a social media post shared by the Fall River Public Schools, students of B.M.C. Durfee High School, Robert L. Medeiros Resiliency Preparatory Academy, or Stone Day School who earned a certificate of completion rather than a diploma are encouraged to apply to have their transcript reviewed to see if there are eligible for a high school diploma.
