Being a parent, I am naturally curious about the standardized testing that is used. I try to keep it all in perspective, this is just one piece of evidence which indicates the quality of a school for my kis
In Massachusetts, our standardized test is the "MCAS". My kids go to a small Montessori charter school in Newburyport with only about 30 students in a grade. This makes the testing interesting on a number of levels.
The most obvious of these is how does the school's performance compare to results from sending districts? Another question is since there are so few students in a grade what is the best way to see where the school could improve?
Below is a quick overview comparing average MCAS results for each of the school districts in my area.
You can use the interactive visualization below to look at a grouping of districts you are intersted in. Use the magnifying glass or scroll bar to find the school districts you want to compare. Make sure to check the box on the target districts. You can deselect the districts that are currently selected to avoid crowding your view.
