A.M. Briefing
- The District Report Cards for Andover Public Schools, its five elementary schools, three middle schools and Andover High School have been released. You can view all the report cards. "The report card includes multiple measures of a school’s performance – more than just MCAS scores," South Elementary Principal Brenda Lee said in a note to parents Tuesday. "It represents a new way of looking at school performance by providing information on student achievements, teacher qualifications, student learning opportunities, and more."
Weather: Mostly cloudy, high of 61. Slight (24%) chance of a rain shower this afternoon. Light rain early tonight and showers late. Low of 47. Rain continues on Friday. Check here for the latest Andover forecast.
