Dear Families,
Every year, each public school and school district in Massachusetts receives a report card. Just as
your child’s report card shows how they are doing in different subjects, the school’s report card is
designed to show families how our school is doing in different areas. Links to our schools' report
cards are available on our NPS website under the family tab or on the Massachusetts
Department of Education website at:
Nauset Regional Middle School 2025 School Report Card
This is a link to a Quick Facts and Glossary information flier. You can also access our report card
or any other school’s report cards through this link: reportcards.doe.mass.edu.
About the Report Card: The report card includes multiple measures of a school’s performance,
more than just MCAS scores. It represents a new way of looking at school performance by
providing information on student achievement, teacher qualifications, student learning
opportunities, and more.
District Report Cards are designed to be useful tools for everyone connected to our school.
Families can use the information to have meaningful conversations with us about what the school
is doing well and where there is room for improvement. Community and education leaders can
use the information to better understand how to support students and our schools.
As you review the different categories, please note that for some schools certain measures may
appear as 0%. This reflects that those measures are only applicable at specific grade spans, such
as the middle or high school level. For example, the category titled Grade 9 Course Passing will
show 0% for all schools except the high school, as it is a measure specific to grade 9.
As you will see, one of the categories is labeled Accountability. An accountability system brings
together a set of measures in order to provide clear, actionable information about district and
school performance. In Massachusetts, accountability results are calculated using information
related to student performance on state tests, chronic absenteeism, high school completion, and advanced coursework completion.In 2024, a new measure called Overall Classification was
introduced to the Accountability section of the report cards. An accountability system brings
together a set of measures in order to provide clear, actionable information about district and
school performance. In Massachusetts, accountability outcomes are determined by factors such
as student performance on state tests, chronic absenteeism, high school graduation rates, and
completion of advanced coursework. The Overall Classification portion of this Accountability
section measures a district's progress toward targets set by the state. The districts are then placed
into two categories: requiring assistance or intervention or not requiring assistance or
intervention. All of our schools are making moderate to substantial progress and therefore do not
require assistance or intervention from the state.
Parents/Guardians are essential partners in the success of our students and school, and we deeply
appreciate your ongoing support. We encourage our families to get involved and work with us to
continue improving our school community. If you have questions about our school’s report card,
or would like to become involved in school improvement activities, please contact the school
principal or Victoria Saldana, Assistant Superintendent. A hard copy will be provided upon
request.
Thank you,
