MCAS / JOHN & ABIGAIL ADAMS SCHOLARSHIP

High school students in Massachusetts public schools participate in the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) exams in English Language Arts (ELA), mathematics, and science. These statewide assessments, along with classroom and districtwide assessments, are a measure of student progress towards mastering curriculum concepts as defined in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks.

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) awards the John & Abigail Adams to students who have a combined MCAS score that ranks in the top 25% in their school district. DESE identifies recipients of this merit based scholarship in the student’s senior year.

If you have any questions regarding the John & Abigail Adams scholarship please reach out to your student’s guidance counselor or to Sue Demers, MCAS Test Coordinator, at (508) 998-3321 ext. 380.
