Results from the MCAS tests given in the spring of 2004 have been released by the state Department of Education. Below are the scores for school districts beginning with the letter "A."

Notes: (1) "Placement overall" ranks schools by combining the percentage of students who were either "Advanced" or "Proficient" and comparing that number for each subject and grade with schools across the state. The Department of Education does not rank schools using MCAS.
