All the high schools in Marlborough exceeded the state's adjusted graduation rate of 83 percent for the 2010-2011 school year.
All three high schools located within Marlborough's borders exceeded the state graduation rate, which did not crack the top 10 high school graduation rates in the nation, according to preliminary data released by the U.S. Department of Education on Monday.

Did your child's school make the grade when it comes to the kitchen?
With the beginning of the school year, inspections have been conducted at all the area school kitchens. These kitchens that turn out meals for children daily all passed, but there were some violations. "We don't see anything that would put a student or staff at risk for foodborne illness," said Robert Landry, the administrator of the Board of Health. The majority of violations had to do with handwashing stations and the exact mixture of sanitizer that is used on food services, according to the reports. Many of the schools that had issues with hand washing either had a station improperly set up or improper temperature of the water. The sanitizer — that is sprayed on many surfaces to ensure bacteria does not grow — must be mixed at proper …

Accomplished Advanced Math & Science Academy student athletes received extra attention this week.
The Advanced Math & Science Academy is being recognized throughout the state for not only its academic program, but also its competitive, 4-year-old sports program. "No school is better in the state," when it comes to blending lofty academic goals with a sports program, AMSA Executive Director John Brucato told the Boston Globe. The publicly funded charter school had its first graduating senior class in the spring of 2011. AMSA sophomore Joel Wilner, who was playing baseball before fracturing his clavicle, serves as an example of the types of student athletes AMSA attracts and retains. He's captain of the baseball team, the speech and debate team and the Quiz Bowl team. He plays the piano and is a prize-winning essayist. Those are just a …
