Of the 1,959 students who took part in the MCAS, 29% did not meet the testing standard in the 2021-22 school year, according to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

These students did not meet the required standards of the Math portion of the MCAS, compared to the 71% who did.

The number of Wellesley Public Schools District students who failed their Math assessments fell by 26.9% from the previous school year.

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

In the 2021-22 school year, 399,938 students took the Math test in Massachusetts with 29% students failing, 7.6% less 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.
