Haverhill Public Schools recently won national recognition as one of 192 districts in 38 states whose students have improved significantly faster in math than peer schools.The award called “Districts on the Rise” is a collaboration of the Harvard University Center for Education Policy Research and the Stanford University Educational Opportunity Project along with faculty at Dartmouth College. Haverhill School Superintendent Margaret Marotta talked recently about the honor on WHAV's “Win for Breakfast” program. She explained how the Education Scorecard is computed.“They take every school district across the country, all public school districts, and they look at their test scores, they look at their NAEP, the National Educational Progress Assessment, and they look at your standardized test scores and your attendance scores,” Marotta explained.The partnership has produced its Education Scorecard for the last four years. The most recent report analyzed national student achievement trends for approximately 35 million students in grades three to eight, from 2022 through 2025. Eleven states were not included due to data limitations.The Beverly, Braintree, Reading, Scituate and Westfield school systems also received the honor for their students' progress in math. Other Massachusetts schools honored were Cambridge, for both reading and math progress, and Duxbury, Lexington, Mansfield, Plymouth, Salem, Sharon and Weymouth for reading progress.Marotta credited both the adoption of a new math curriculum as well as the hard work of teachers in implementing it for the recognition.“We've been changing up the curriculum, trying to improve things over in the last couple of years, and it is paying off. But it was definitely our teachers and their hard work and learning curve,” Marotta said.Haverhill was also called out by the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education as a statewide Spotlight District during a recent education conference in Washington, D.C., for its implementation of a new literacy curriculum at the high school. Specifically, DESE said, Haverhill has been effective in providing coaching to high school teachers as they introduce the new reading supports in their classrooms. The coaching has helped the teacher feel more engaged and less overwhelmed, DESE reported.Support the show

More than half of Scituate is without power as of Tuesday morning. Jim Boudreau, the town's administrator, joined WBUR's Morning Edition to talk about the cleanup efforts. 

Send a textTemperatures are on the move this week and not quietly. We're stepping into a much more active and unsettled pattern across southern New England, with multiple chances for precipitation and plenty to watch as the atmosphere keeps shifting gears. That means one big focus right now: ice safety. Changing temperatures and variable conditions can make ice incredibly unpredictable, so awareness and smart decision-making are key as we head deeper into February.At the same time, something powerful is happening above us. The Sun is climbing higher, and daylight is increasing in bigger and brighter chunks. You can feel it. The angle of the Sun continues to rise, the daylight stretches longer, and even with storms in the mix, the seasonal transition is underway. What does that mean for temperatures, snowpack, and the weeks ahead? We're breaking it all down with the Weekly Weather Preview — Episode #231 of Obsessed with the Weather! Enjoy! Support the show

Send us a textWe've finally settled into a true New England winter. Cold air has been the dominant story, with temperatures running well below average, but there's a subtle shift ahead as we finally sneak back above freezing at times this week. Daylight is making noticeable gains now, adding minutes each day and offering a reminder that the seasonal corner has been turned—even if it doesn't feel like it yet.Precipitation chances are limited, making this a relatively quiet stretch of weather, but there's still plenty to break down. We'll also take a quick mental escape to a tropical location while the bitter cold lingers here at home.

Navigating Today's South Shore Market: Insights from Talk Real Estate Roundtable At Boston Connect Real Estate, our mission is to keep South Shore buyers, sellers, and homeowners informed about the ever-changing real estate landscape. In our latest Talk Real Estate Roundtable, we discussed timely topics shaping the market—from pricing strategies to navigating common myths—offering guidance to help you make confident decisions. Busting Common Real Estate Myths One of the most important conversations we had centered on real estate myths that continue to circulate: “Every home sells over asking.” While multiple-offer situations are still happening, especially in sought-after South Shore towns like Scituate, Marshfield, and Pembroke, not every property sells for more than its list price. Pricing strategy, location, and condition remain critical factors. “Waiving contingencies is the only way to win.” Waiving inspections or financing contingencies can expose buyers to unnecessary risks. A skilled buyer's agent can craft a competitive offer without jeopardizing protections that safeguard your investment. “Spring is the only good time to sell.” Life changes don't always align with the seasons—and neither do buyers. Families relocating, downsizers seeking condos, and first-time buyers entering the market keep demand strong year-round. The Importance of Representation We emphasized the value of hiring the right buyer's and seller's agents: A buyer's agent helps clients understand market value, negotiate effectively, and avoid pitfalls often encountered when browsing lead-generation websites. A seller's agent ensures your home is priced strategically, marketed locally and digitally, and guided through a smooth transaction to closing. Creating a real relationship with your Realtor—someone who knows both you and the local market—makes all the difference. Market Pulse: What We're Seeing Locally Inventory levels remain tight across the South Shore, but opportunities still exist for both buyers and sellers. New construction in towns like Plymouth and Kingston is providing options for families looking for modern layouts and energy efficiency. Meanwhile, established neighborhoods continue to attract buyers drawn to community feel and proximity to Boston. Takeaway for Buyers & Sellers Whether you're a first-time buyer, a growing family, or preparing to downsize, don't let myths or misinformation drive your decisions. The key is partnering with a trusted, local real estate professional who can provide clarity, advocate for your best interests, and guide you through today's competitive—but navigable—market.
