About the Tests

In 2010-2011 Massachusetts used the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) to test students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in English language arts and math and in grades 5, 8, and 10 in science.
The grade 10 MCAS is a high school graduation requirement.
The MCAS is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Massachusetts.
The different student groups are identified by the Massachusetts Department of Education. If there are a small number of students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.
The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
