APPENDIX D: School Districts that Most Over-performed Their Demography
The following tables list the school
districts that most over-performed their demographic
characteristics on the 2000 MCAS in total MCAS score
(adding scaled scores in English Language Arts, Math,
and Science and Technology for Grades 4, 8, and 10).
The lists represent districts that most over-performed
based on Demographic Rank compared to Total MCAS Rank.
For example, Braintree is ranked #91
in terms of where it fits in the overall demographic
pattern of Massachusetts. Its overall MCAS score (ELA,
Math, Science and Technology for Grades 4, 8, and 10)
is the 32nd best in the state. Thus, Braintree's total
MCAS scores are 59 ranks above the performance predicted
by its demographic characteristics.
