The Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) is a series of standardized tests, measure the performance of students, schools and districts with respect to statewide standards, and thus to be used for accountability purposes. It was first administered by the Massachusetts Department of Education designed to meet the requirements of the Massachusetts Education Reform Act of 1993.

The MCAS tests are based on the learning standards in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. The MCAS tests are administered in the following content areas:

English Language Arts
Mathematics
Science and Technology/Engineering
History and Social Science

Frameworks wereto provide a comprehensive outline of the skills and knowledge each student would be expected to attain in various subjects including Mathematics, English, History, and the Sciences. Periodic assessments would measure students' progress toward achieving these learning goals. In order to graduate from high school, students would have to attain a minimum level of proficiency.

As mandated by the Education Reform Law of 1993, all students educated with public funds are required to participate in the MCAS tests administered in their grades. However, home-schooled students are not enrolled in the public school system; therefore, they are not required nor entitled by law to participate in MCAS.

The specific wording of the Education Reform Act required that "the system shall employ a variety of assessment instruments" to measure student proficiency. But since the passage of the Act, the DOE has endorsed only one method of assessment: MCAS testing.

Developed byaprivate test-preparation firm and administered by school personnel, the MCAS tests consist of multiple choice, short answer, and open-ended essay-type questions designed to measure student performance against state curriculum frame works. Each test covers a single subject area.With few exceptions, all students, including those with disabilities and limited English proficiency, are required to take MCAS.
