2007 Massachusetts State Report Card

On January 8, 2002, President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) into law. The law called for sweeping changes in public education. Among the changes was a federal requirement that all states receiving federal Title I funds must issue annual "report cards."

The Massachusetts State Report Card is divided into the following six parts. (More information about these data can be found in the "Data Definitions" section at the end of the report card.)
