Altavesta Elementary Designated 'Requiring Assistance or Intervention' Under 2025 MCAS Accountability

What happened

Altavesta Elementary School's 2025 School Improvement Plan discloses that the school received a state accountability classification of 'Requiring Assistance or Intervention,' with an accountability percentile of 27, driven by low performance among Students with Disabilities. The plan notes that in 2025 the All Students group earned zero points in ELA, Math, and Science, and that chronic absenteeism and English learner progress both declined.

Why it matters to families

A formal 'Requiring Assistance or Intervention' state accountability designation signals a documented academic risk that can trigger additional state oversight, mandated improvement planning, and resource reallocation, directly affecting students and families at the school.

The evidence

The SIP states: 'Overall Classification Status: Requiring Assistance or Intervention. Reason: Low performance for Students with Disabilities. Accountability Percentile: 27... In 2025, overall achievement dropped. All Students earned zero points in ELA, Math, and Science. Chronic absenteeism and English language proficiency progress both declined.'
