2023 MCAS and Accountability Results: Key Insights and Trends
Key takeaways from the 2023 state MCAS data show a trend of halted achievement slide from 2019 with signs of recovery in ELA and Math, while Science results remain stable. Grade-specific results highlight the need for cautiousness, especially in Grade 3, and indicate varying district achievements. The data also outline performance by race/ethnicity across different grades.

2023 MCAS and Accountability Results Presented to the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education September 19, 2023 1
Key takeaways from state MCAS data 2023 ELA and Math data indicate that the achievement slide from 2019 has halted and recovery is underway Science results remain relatively unchanged although slight decreases in achievement Grade 3 results signal a need to remain cautious about incoming testing grades (PK-K during pandemic) Still have significant ground to make up to reach pre-pandemic achievement levels in some areas State results mask varying district results 2

Important notes Accountability system run in full for the first time since 2019 because of the pandemic All schools: Overall accountability classification School and student group percentiles Criterion-referenced percentage (progress towards targets) Some schools Federal designation in compliance with ESSA School of recognition Entry and exit decisions for Underperforming and Chronically Underperforming schools will be made by Commissioner at a later date to allow time for sufficient review of quantitative and qualitative information 10
Recent History of Accountability Measures Reported Measure 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Accountability Percentile Progress Towards Targets 11
Overall accountability classification All schools receive an overall accountability classification that describes the need for assistance or intervention Total of 1,832 schools in the 2022-23 school year 226 received a classification of Insufficient data primarily because the school did not serve any tested grades (e.g. PK-2 school) The remaining 1,607 schools were classified as: 1,331 (83%) classified as Not requiring assistance or intervention 275 (17%) classified as Requiring assistance or intervention for one or more reasons 12
Overall accountability classification Schools are classified as Requiring assistance or intervention if they meet one or more of the following criteria: Designated as a Chronically Underperforming School Designated as an Underperforming School Among the lowest performing 10% of schools in the state High school with a graduation rate below 67% Among the lowest performing student groups in the state Not meeting assessment participation requirements 13
School and student group percentiles Normative indicator ranging from 1-99 showing a school or student group s standing as compared to other schools or groups in schools serving comparable grade spans Divided into three basic groupings Schools serving only grades K-8 Schools serving a combination of K-8 and 9-12 Schools serving only 9-12 14
Scale of Point Assignment Points assigned based on progress toward target for each indicator for the all students group and each student group with sufficient data: No Improved below target 2 Met target 3 Exceeded target 4 Category Declined change 1 Points 0 Target % 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% 15
Criterion-referenced percentage results 0-24% 25-49% Moderate Progress Towards Targets 30.2% 46.6% 34.9% 31.7% 50-74% Substantial Progress Towards Targets 41.6% 40.8% 28.6% 39.8% 75-100% Meeting or Exceeding Targets 22.2% 7.8% 27.7% 22.1% Limited or No Progress Towards Targets 6.0% 4.9% 8.8% 6.5% Grade Span ES/MS MS/HS HS only Total 16
Schools of Recognition DESE identified 66 Schools of Recognition for strong achievement and growth and meeting/targets Notation on accountability report 17
