NOTE: Grade 10 results for spring 2021 STE are not provided because students in the class of 2023 were not required to take the STE test.
Information about CD requirements is available at https://www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/graduation.html.
Participation rates varied across schools, districts, and student groups in 2021 more than in prior years.
If the participation rate in 2021 was lower than in prior years, results may have been different if more students had taken the test.
