This dataset contains MCAS results since 2017, including achievement level, participation rate, average scaled score, and average student growth percentile. The Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) is a statewide assessment administered to help parents, students, educators, and policymakers determine where districts, schools, and students are meeting expectations and where they need additional support. This dataset contains state, district and school results; MCAS results for collaboratives can be found in the Profiles report.

Please note that Legacy MCAS results are not included in this dataset, nor are PARCC or other student assessment results. A table documenting the transition from Legacy MCAS over time can be found in the DESE Researcher's Guide linked as featured content below.

Student growth percentile (AVG_SGP) was calculated as a median for 2017. In 2018 and onward, it is a mean. For more information about MCAS data, click here.

The District Analysis and Review Tools (DARTs) turn the Department's vast amount of data into valuable, easily consumable information. The DARTs offer snapshots of district and school performance, allowing users to easily track select data elements over time, and make sound, meaningful comparisons to the state or to "comparable" organizations. The data elements in each DART tool are linked to a broader strategic framework defining the characteristics of effective educational organizations and cover a broad range of district and school interests including demographic, assessment, student support, educator, financial, and achievement gap data. The DARTs, in combination with other tools found on this website, may be utilized by district and school leaders in enacting each of the six district standards upon which district reviews, improvement planning, and other forms of accountability and assistance are based: Leadership & Governance, Curriculum & Instruction, Assessment, Human Resources & Professional Development, Student Support, and Financial & Asset Management.

This page hosts raw-to-scaled score conversion tables for tests and retests in each MCAS subject. It also contains any documents associated with the release of MCAS results in a given year, as well as reporting schedules for upcoming MCAS releases.

This dataset contains Next Generation MCAS results by school since 2017, including achievement level, participation rate, average scaled score, and average student growth percentile. (Note: AVG_SGP was calculated as a median for 2017. In 2018 and onward, AVG_SGP is a mean.)

This dataset contains Advanced Placement (AP) score data for all Massachusetts public and charter schools and districts since 2007. It shows the number of students who received each possible score (1-5) on AP exams, as well as the percent of students scoring 1-2 or 3-5 on those exams, disaggregated by student group.

Economically Disadvantaged was used 2015-2021. Low Income was used prior to 2015, and has been used again since 2022. Please see the DESE Researcher's Guide for more information.

This dashboard shows snapshots of individual districts and schools on a variety of indicators, including enrollment, demographics, staffing, MCAS scores, graduation rates and more.

Resource Allocation and District Action Reports (RADAR) enable district leaders to compare their staffing, class size, special education services, school performance, and per-pupil spending data with similar districts. They are intended to support districts in making effective strategic decisions as they develop district plans and budgets. There are three reports:

RADAR Benchmarking Online
Gives districts an overall picture of how their resources are being allocated and resulting outcomes, including a wide variety of charts and tables.

RADAR Special Education
Indicates district resources and outcomes related to students with disabilities.

Student Sending and Receiving Report
Shows which towns/cities send students to a particular district, and which districts receive students from a particular town/city.
