Data and Accountability

The Department collects a wide range of data to help improve teaching and learning in Massachusetts schools.

The state also uses school and student data to inform our accountability system, which targets resources and assistance where they are needed most.

This section of our website includes student-, school-, and district-level data, as well as information on our accountability system, laws, and regulations.

Massachusetts redesigned its district and school accountability system in 2018. Highlights of the new system include: using additional indicators beyond student test scores, focusing on the performance of each school as a whole and of its lowest performing students, and categorizing schools based on the type of support the Department would provide to them. Supporting materials are available online.
