School and District Data

The Department collects a wide range of data to help improve teaching and learning in Massachusetts schools. The state also uses school and student data to inform our accountability system, which targets resources and assistance where they are needed most.

This section of our website includes school- and district-level data about student enrollment and achievement, educators, and district indicators such as per pupil spending. For district administrators, this section also includes links to Edwin Analytics to help analyze data and to the Early Warning Indicator System, which gives districts a chance to identify students for extra support before students fall further behind.

Massachusetts is redesigning its district and school accountability system in 2018. Highlights of the new system include: using additional indicators beyond student test scores, focusing on the performance of each school as a whole and of its lowest performing students, and categorizing schools based on the type of support the Department would provide to them. Supporting materials are available online.
