District Report Card

Every year, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) gives each public school and school district in Massachusetts 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 schools are doing in different areas. A link to each school’s report card is available below and on each school’s webpage.

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 schools. Families can use the information to have meaningful conversations with us about what the schools are 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 schools.
