District and School Accountability

Accountability Information

Every year, each public school and school district in Massachusetts receives a report card. Just as your child’s report card shows how they are doing in different subjects, the school’s report card is designed to show families how our school is doing in different areas. Links to our districts’ and schools’ report cards are available below.

The report card includes multiple measures of a school’s performance – more than just MCAS scores. It represents a new way of looking at school performance, by providing information on student achievement, teacher qualifications, student learning opportunities, and more. 

Report cards are designed to be useful tools for everyone connected to our school. Families can use the information to have meaningful conversations with us about what the school is doing well and where there is room for improvement. Community and education leaders can use the information to better understand how to support students and our school.

We always seek ways to improve student performance in our school.  Our strategic plan highlights District strategic objectives and each school has a School Improvement Plan that provides more specifics about the school’s improvement efforts.  We encourage you to become involved in helping us improve our school. We see parents as critical partners in the success of our students and school, and we are grateful for your continued support.

Families' Right to Know

Under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act, parents may request and receive information regarding the professional qualifications of their child’s classroom teachers, including; 

  • Whether the teacher has met State qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction; 
  • Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which State qualification or licensing criteria have been waived; 
  • The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree; and 
  • Whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
