MCAS

Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System

Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) is designed to measure a student's knowledge of key concepts and skills outlined in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks.

MCAS was first instituted as part of the 1993 Education Reform Law.  The programs and funding in that law have led to nearly a quarter-century of steady improvement in our K-12 schools.  Today Massachusetts is number one in the nation in elementary and secondary education.
