Trends in MCAS passing rates at high schools, 2003-2005

This table shows three-year trends in the percentage of students who passed the MCAS test in grade 10 English and math, the exams required for graduation. Individual high schools within a district are not shown. For example, Newton is listed, but not Newton North and Newton South high schools individually. The state has not released the percentage of students who met the graduation requirement by passing both tests. "N/A" indicates that no scores were reported for that district in that year. Source: Boston Globe calculations from Mass. Department of Education figures, as released Sept. 28, 2005.
