BPS Spring 2022 MCAS Analysis

Each academic year, public school students across Massachusetts sit to take the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) exams. Although imperfect and just a single measure, the use of annual, common assessments is an important tool for understanding how well our education system is serving its students.

At BSF, we believe that the more information we have for children and educators, the further schools can go. That is why we consistently offer independent analysis of data on various topics related to the progress of Boston’s students and schools.

We have completed a comprehensive analysis of Boston’s spring 2022 MCAS results, chronicling the impacts of shifts in standards and the pandemic. 

We look forward to working with community members, educators, and the City of Boston to continue to advance equitable access to high-quality schools.
