Accountability Advanced Courses



2019 District and School Accountability Reporting: List of Advanced CoursesIntroductionIn 2018, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) began reporting accountability results under its new framework for district and school accountability and assistance, which was approved by the U.S. Department of Education as part of Massachusetts’ Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) state plan. The accountability system includes indicators that provide additional information about school quality and student opportunity. Massachusetts includes successful completion of advanced coursework as one of its accountability indicators. This indicator measures the percentage of all students enrolled in 11th and 12th grade that complete at least one advanced course, including but not limited to Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), Project Lead the Way (PLTW), dual enrollment for credit, Chapter 74-approved vocational/technical secondary cooperative education programs and articulation agreement courses, and other DESE-selected rigorous courses. Eligible courses extend beyond traditional AP courses and do not necessitate student participation in AP tests. This indicator is included in the accountability results for any district, school, or subgroup with at least 20 students enrolled in grades 11 and 12. BackgroundMassachusetts’ student-level course data indicate that there are varying levels of participation in and completion of advanced coursework across the state, and that within school districts there are equity gaps in participation across subgroups. In addition, Massachusetts PSAT, SAT, and course grade data indicate that additional students are prepared for advanced coursework but are not enrolling in those courses. By including a measure of advanced coursework completion, the accountability system can incentivize student participation in these types of courses.Course ListThe following courses are considered “advanced” for the purposes of 2019 accountability reporting. Course codes and names are aligned with DESE’s Student Course Schedule (SCS) data collection. Any student who successfully completes at least one of these courses is included in the advanced coursework completion rate for the district, school, or group. Students completing multiple advanced courses are counted only once.
