Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) Dataset

Dataset Description

This dataset contains student performance metrics from the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) across all Massachusetts public schools from 2017-2024. The MCAS is a state-mandated assessment program for Massachusetts public school students that measures performance based on the Massachusetts Curriculum Framework learning standards.

Overview

The dataset provides a consolidated view of MCAS performance results including achievement levels in different subjects, student growth percentiles, and demographic breakdowns. It combines data from multiple years that was originally published in separate Excel files with inconsistent formatting on the Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education (DESE) website.

Source Data

Original Source: MCAS Performance Results
Original Format: Excel spreadsheets
Years Covered: 2017-2024
Filter Selections: District wise, Grades (3-8)
Data Owner: Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education

Dataset Structure

The dataset contains 6,741 rows covering seven years of assessment data with the following key columns:

District Name: Name of the school district
District Code: Unique identifier for the district
Subject: Academic subject (e.g., English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science)
Year: Academic year of assessment
Grade: Grade level (3-10)
Students Included: Number of students taking the test
% Meeting or Exceeding Expectations: Percentage of students at proficiency level
% Exceeding Expectations: Percentage of students at advanced level
% Meeting Expectations: Percentage of students at proficient level
% Partially Meeting Expectations: Percentage of students at needs improvement level
% Not Meeting Expectations: Percentage of students at warning/failing level
Student Growth Percentile: Median student growth percentile
Various demographic breakdowns (e.g., by gender, race/ethnicity, economic status)

Intended Uses

This dataset is designed for:

Educational researchers analyzing school performance trends over time
Policy makers evaluating the impact of educational interventions
School administrators tracking performance relative to state averages
AI developers training models for educational outcome prediction
Data scientists exploring correlations between demographic factors and academic achievement

Limitations

Achievement level definitions changed in 2019, requiring careful interpretation for longitudinal analysis
Some small districts or demographic groups may have redacted data for privacy reasons
Not all metrics are available for all years, subjects, or grade levels
District boundaries and school configurations may have changed over the time period
This dataset represents district-level aggregates and does not contain individual student data
