When it comes to the courses high school students across the Commonwealth are required to complete for their diplomas, Massachusetts sets few requirements and collects no school level data. Instead, each high school makes their own determination about the courses required for students to graduate.
MassCore standards is a program of study recommended by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (MA DESE) “intended to align high school coursework with college and workforce expectations.”
We are a statewide coalition dedicated to projects that explore and disseminate disparate opportunities and outcomes for K-12 students. We do this by conducting research and sharing evidence; informing policymakers, legislators, and public opinion, and ensuring balanced media and social media coverage across the Commonwealth.
