The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will be releasing to the public the 2017 Spring Next-Generation MCAS Results next week. Individual student and parent reports will be sent to the schools the following week and then mailed home. Some significant changes to keep in mind are: the state move to a computer-based test (as a district we moved to this format to prepare our students last year), new MCAS achievement levels, and a new accountability reporting system for all school districts. I will be providing more detailed information as the results are released next week to help parents understand this new reporting process.
