Use this interactive chart to view trends in MCAS results by school district since 2017.

This dataset contains Next Generation MCAS results by school 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.

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 to Next Generation 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.

This dataset contains the same data that is also published on our DESE Profiles site:
Next Generation MCAS Achievement Results

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education collects a variety of data from schools and districts in the state. Much of the information collected is published in the School and District Profiles. A "profile" is a snapshot of the data for a specific school or district. Users can also find school and district directories.

In addition to individual profiles and directories, users can also view and download statewide data reports. The Massachusetts Education-to-Career Research and Data Hub publishes many of the statewide reports as datasets here in the public data portal. If you wish to download multiple years of data at once, multiple student groups, or other cuts of data that are more difficult to download via School and District Profiles, please search for it here in the E2C Hub.

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.

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.

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