Adequate Yearly Progress and No Child Left Behind

Based on their MCAS results, districts and schools in Massachusetts are placed in one of five "accountability and assistance" levels.

Level 1 schools are the highest performing schools. Level 3 and 4 schools are in the bottom 20% in school performance. These schools receive additional supports. Level 5 schools are "chronically underperforming" schools. These have been taken over by the Mass. Department of Elementary & Secondary Education because they have not improved sufficiently even after receiving extensive resources.
