In previous posts, I discussed Lawrence's designation as a Level 5 district which led to its state takeover and the Lynn Public schools own accountability ratings. Here we look at the Massachusetts schools that have been deemed a Level 4. Once again, a Level 4 rating occurs when a school is among the lowest acheiving and least improving Level 3 schools serving common grades statewide regardless of NCLB Accountability Status. There are currently 40 Level 4 schools in Massachusetts as of November 2011. A large number of these schools are concentrated in just a hand full of cities - Boston (11), Lawrence (5), and Springfield (10). Additionally, more than half of the Level 4 schools identified by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) are elementary schools.
