Thirty school districts across Massachusetts need targeted assistance and support, according to the new accountability system rolled out Thursday with the 2018 MCAS results.

State education officials said the accountability system is "more comprehensive than the previous system." It takes into account more than just test scores, considering student achievement, student growth, high school completion, English proficiency, chronic absenteeism, and advanced coursework.
