The data-driven conclusion: High-stakes testing has failed.

Has high-stakes testing improved overall academic achievement in Massachusetts? Has it improved the achievement of low-scoring student groups? The answer is, No.

The data: The National Assessment of Educational Progress NAEP tests samples of students in every state. There are no individual school scores and no punishments for low scores, so nobody preps for this test. That makes it far more accurate as a measure of skills than state tests that teachers spend weeks and even months getting their students ready for. Like other standardized tests, NAEP tests only a narrow range of the abilities and qualities that parents want schools to foster, but it does test that narrow range accurately.

The era of high-stakes testing Massachusetts students had to pass the MCAS to get their diplomas starting in 2003. (Three earlier classes took the test but did not have to pass it to get a diploma.) Beginning in 2002, No Child Left Behind mandated escalating penalties for an ever-growing percentage of schools. The Achievement Gap Act of 2010 and the federal NCLB waiver agreement let high-scoring schools off the hook while adding more sanctions for schools near the bottom. What do Massachusetts NAEP results show for the period after 2002 compared with the years before high-stakes testing?
