These students did not meet the required standards of the Science portion of the MCAS, compared to the 67% who did.

The number of Milton Public Schools District students who failed their Science assessments fell by 3.4% from the previous school year.

Milton Public Schools District roughly covers schools within Norfolk County and has a main office in Milton.

In the 2021-22 school year, 135,538 students took the Science test in Massachusetts with 32% students failing, 13.9% more than the year before.

According to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's 2022 Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS), the average scale score for grade 10 English Language Arts was 503, which met the expectation level, while the average scale score for grade 10 Science was 499, which only partially met the expectation level.

The results of the spring 2022 MCAS examinations were mixed, with declines in ELA scores and gains in Math and Science scores since 2021. Overall results indicate a need for improvement as compared to pre-pandemic levels.
