Massachusetts is required by federal law to annually produce information about school performance for families and communities. Just as a student's report card shows how they are doing in different classes, school and district report cards are designed to show parents and community members how a school or district is doing in different areas. Report cards highlight a school or district's strengths as well as any challenges that need to be addressed in order to make sure the needs of all students are being met. The federal regulation currently requiring report cards is under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and was formerly under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
The report cards provide a new way of looking at information related to overall school performance. They include information in a variety of areas that the state heard from parents are important:
- Student Enrollment and Teacher Information
- Student Attendance and Discipline
- Academic Opportunities
- College and Career Readiness
- MCAS Performance
- School Spending
- Accountability Information
Administrators in the Office of Elementary Education and Title 1 are available to answer any questions. Student achievement and family engagement are core values of the Cambridge Public Schools. We look forward to the continued partnership of families and students in raising achievement for all students.
