Level 4 schools are the state's most struggling schools based on an analysis of four-year trends in absolute achievement, student growth, and improvement trends as measured by MCAS. On January 18th, 2010, Governor Patrick, Senate and House leaders enacted landmark education reform legislation to intervene in these schools. Level 4 schools are allowed flexibilities to accelerate student achievement and are given priority to receive ESE targeted assistance.
