MCAS Next Generation: What do the latest MCAS scores mean for our schools?

November 13, 2018

Standardized tests like the MCAS are certainly not the only way to measure student or school success. There are many factors that go into assessing the quality of a school. But MCAS results do provide a tool to track growth and a window into existing achievement gaps.

The state recently released the latest round of MCAS scores, giving us a chance to dig into these two indicators.
