MCAS Achievement Results

This dataset contains MCAS results 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. A new civics subject test has been administered since 2025. This dataset contains state, district and school results; MCAS results for collaboratives can be found in the <a href="https://profiles.doe.mass.edu/statereport/mcas.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Profiles report</a>. 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 from Legacy 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. In 2021, a baseline SGP method was used to compare growth from 2019 to 2021, following the COVID-19 pandemic. For all other years, a cohort referenced model is used. For more information on SGP calculations, please see the <a href="https://www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/growth" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Student Growth page</a> on DESE's website. This dataset contains the same data that is also published on our DESE Profiles site: <a href="https://profiles.doe.mass.edu/statereport/mcas.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MCAS Achievement Results</a>

本数据集收录了2017年以来的马萨诸塞州综合评估系统（Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System, MCAS）成绩数据，涵盖成绩等级、参与率、平均标准分数以及平均学生成长百分位。马萨诸塞州综合评估系统（MCAS）是一项全州统一实施的标准化测评，旨在协助家长、学生、教育工作者与政策制定者评估学区、学校及学生是否达成预期标准，并明确其需额外帮扶的领域。2025年起，该系统新增了公民科目的测试。本数据集包含州级、学区级与校级的MCAS成绩结果；协作机构的MCAS成绩数据可参阅<a href="https://profiles.doe.mass.edu/statereport/mcas.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">概况报告</a>。请注意，本数据集未纳入旧版MCAS成绩，也未包含PARCC或其他学生测评结果。一份记录旧版MCAS随时间过渡情况的表格，可在下方推荐内容中链接的马萨诸塞州初等与中等教育厅（Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, DESE）研究者指南中查阅。如需了解更多MCAS数据相关信息，请<a href="https://profiles.doe.mass.edu/help/data.aspx?section=assess" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">点击此处</a>。2017年的学生成长百分位（AVG_SGP）以中位数计算；2018年及以后则改为均值计算。2021年受新冠疫情影响，采用基准成长百分位方法对比2019年至2021年的学生成长情况；其余年份均采用队列参照模型进行计算。如需了解更多学生成长百分位的计算细节，请参阅马萨诸塞州初等与中等教育厅官网的<a href="https://www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/growth" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">学生成长页面</a>。本数据集所收录的数据，与马萨诸塞州初等与中等教育厅（DESE）概况网站<a href="https://profiles.doe.mass.edu/statereport/mcas.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MCAS成绩结果</a>中发布的数据完全一致。
