School Report Cards

Report cards are important tools for sharing district and school information with families and the general public. The federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires districts to annually prepare and distribute district and school report cards to the parents/guardians of all children enrolled in district schools. Since 2007, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has prepared district and school report cards that contain all federally required elements, and has made them available to districts and the general public via the School and District Profiles website.
