MCAS scores are out; see Marblehead’s results

Marblehead Community Charter Public School was one of only nine districts or schools in the state where 2025 MCAS scores in grades 3-8 overall were at or above 2019 levels in English language arts, bucking the more general trend statewide indicating that students are continuing to make up for instructional time lost to the pandemic.

In fact, MCCPS was named a School of Recognition by the Department of Early and Secondary Education for its MCAS performance.

“This distinction reflects the high growth of our students, with the majority exceeding growth targets in math, science and ELA, and our school surpassing pre-pandemic achievement levels in ELA,” Charter Head of School Stephanie Brant said.

Statewide, another 41 districts (out of 2,026) managed to meet or exceed their 2019 performance in math, while 13 districts met or exceeded their 2019 performance in both subjects.

“To be one of 63 public schools across the Commonwealth to earn this recognition is a true reflection of the tireless work of our teachers,” Brant added. “Their dedication to understanding each student’s needs and providing personalized learning is at the heart of this achievement, and I am beyond proud of their commitment to fostering every student’s success. We will continue to build on the strategies and practices that have driven this success while working to further enhance student achievement across all areas of our curriculum.”

Across other Marblehead public schools, MCAS results were mixed compared to 2024 — and still mostly behind pre-pandemic levels.

Here’s a quick look:

Marblehead still beat statewide averages in most cases, however.

Superintendent John Robidoux said it was too early to comment on the results.

“I would be remiss if I were to make specific comments prior to presenting the results to our SC (School Committee). The administrator team has to delve into the data in order to share the information in a meaningful way, which is slated to occur at the 10/30 meeting,” he wrote in an email.

Looking at MCCPS:

Statewide, the 2025 results show that students are still behind where they were in 2019. In grades 3-8, English language arts results increased from 2024, while math results were mostly flat. Science results were flat in grade 5 and lower in grade 8.
