Swampscott Schools Rate Level 2 Based on MCAS
The district's superintendent is scheduled to review the district's MCAS status at the School Committee's meeting tonight at 7 at the high school.
Swampscott public schools rated a Level 2, overall, on the state's accountability report, the rating based on 2013 MCAS results.
The recently released results are drawn from the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System tests given to students in grades 3–10 in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science and Technology/Engineering.
Students took the tests last spring. A Level 1 designation applies to the highest performers and a 5 to the lowest.

The MCAS accountability page says that, in "general, a district is classified into the level of its lowest performing school, unless the district was independently classified into Level 4 or 5 as a result of action by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education."
