Accountability Data

State and federal laws require that all states implement a system of district and school accountability. The purpose of Massachusetts’ accountability system is to provide clear, actionable information to families, community members, and the public about district and school performance. Additionally, the accountability system helps the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to direct resources and assistance. The framework for the accountability system allows DESE to identify schools that require assistance or intervention, as well as schools that are demonstrating success. It maintains a single statewide accountability system that aligns with the Commonwealth’s priorities while meeting federal education requirements.
