2013 Consolidated MCAS scores for Massachusetts Schools

OK! First, everyone should read this, as all the preamble I did in 2009 still applies today. I did

modify my methodology a bit though. Here's how I did it.

 

The MCAS scores by district are published by Boston.com, but they don't make it easy to find anymore. I have consolidated and re-used that publish data, in order to come up with a composite score for each town. But I didn't collect all of it. I collected English and Math scores for 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 10th grade. I did not use any science results. Then I added up the scores and ranked them. I tried to include charter schools this time, as long as the Charter school had at least 3 entries. As an example, if a ABC

The MCAS results are in.  Tired of looking at

 all the numbers?

I've got a cheat sheet for you!

charter school only shows up in the 3rd grade results, and not the other grades - they don't make the final ranking. Vocational schools also don't make the list based on my criteria.  Some public schools  are not ranked, as I couldn't figure out what their scores were. Where there are regional schools, those scores were used multiple times for each region (they are only ranked once in the boston.com data).

 

I can't stress enough that no one should rely on this data solely to make decisions. MCAS results can rise and fall significantly over multiple years, MCAS results do not tell you everything. (Again, read my introduction written in 2009).

 

Lastly, towns in Bold are towns that I discuss on the blog often, and for no other reason.

 

If you have questions about my methodology, I am happy to try to answer questions.. The data is already on Boston.com, but we can validate it if you think there's a mistake.
