The review process used by EQA is composed of several distinct components:
Selection of Districts for Review
Each year district data are analyzed for all school districts in the Commonwealth. Approximately 40 to 50 districts are then selected for further review and on-site visits. Those selected include: urban, suburban, and rural districts; regional, vocational, and single community K-12 districts. The majority of districts (60%) selected are ‘low’ performing, or below the state average performance level on the MCAS assessment. The remainder (40%) are selected at random. The EQA is charged with reviewing all districts within the Commonwealth.
