Virtual Library This article is provided courtesy of The Annie E. Casey Foundation PROMISES TO KEEP AUTONOMY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN MASSACHUSETTS CHARTER SCHOOLS By Bill Rust "Disappointing" or "troubling" or "numbing" were typical public characterizations of the scores on the new standardized exams for public-school students in Massachusetts. Released in November, the results of the demanding Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) tests revealed that a majority of the state's 4th-, 8th-, and 10th-graders scored in the "failing" and "needs improvement" performance levels for math and science. The English scores were hardly better. Of the three grades tested, only 8th-graders had a majority of students statewide who scored in the "proficient" and "advanced" levels. Like other standardized tests across the nation, the MCAS (pronounced "M-cass") exams confirmed that schools and districts with high proportions of low-income students posted the lowest scores. At a December meeting of the Massachusetts Board of Education, John Silber, then chairman of the board, said that the MCAS scores reflected a "crisis in public education." Yet Silber and other education officials also stressed that the first annual MCAS exams were tangible proof of the state's commitment to high standards of academic achievement. Calling the tests a powerful diagnostic tool that can help students, schools, and districts, Massachusetts Education Commissioner David Driscoll said that the 1998 MCAS scores provided a "baseline" for analyzing trends and measuring progress in meeting the new academic standards.
