Assessment Requirements in Massachusetts

What’s required

• Evaluation is part of the plan the district reviews; the method is set through the district approval process.

Massachusetts requires homeschooled students to complete a other approved method.

Results must be submitted to school district.

What happens if your child doesn’t meet the minimum

Massachusetts hasn’t defined a specific remediation process for students who score below the minimum. If your child’s scores fall short, we recommend reaching out to your local school district to understand what steps, if any, they expect. In most cases, this is a conversation, not a confrontation.
