NCLB District Report Card No Child Left Behind NCLB Report CardsReport cards are critical tools for promoting accountability for schools, districts, and states by publicizing data about student performance and program effectiveness for parents, policy makers, and other stakeholders. Report cards help parents/guardians and the general public see where schools and districts are succeeding and where there is still work to do. States and districts receiving federal Title I funds must prepare and disseminate annual report cards. NEW : In prior years, report cards were made available to districts for dissemination via the NCLB Report Card Assistant on the Security Portal. Beginning in March 2009, report cards will be posted in the Accountability Tab for each school and district on the Department's public School and District Profiles . Report cards will also display Massachusetts' statewide academic achievement results in grades four and eight on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) reading and mathematics assessment, as well as the participation rates for students with disabilities and for limited English proficient students on the exam. What data are displayed on 2008-09 report cards? 2008-09 report cards display teacher quality data as of October 1, 2008 and AYP/MCAS data from 2008. 2008-09 report cards will also display Massachusetts' statewide academic achievement results in grades four and eight on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) reading and mathematics assessment, as well as the participation rates for students with disabilities and limited English proficient students on the exam.
When will 2008-09 report cards be made available? Beginning in mid-March 2009, report cards will be posted to the Department's public School and District Profiles website for all districts that have had their 2008-09 EPIMS data certified by the Department. We will post report cards for remaining districts on a rolling basis. Report cards must be disseminated to all parents prior to the end of the 2008-09 school year.
