Each year, the Rennie Center collects a set of key indicators in our Data Report to provide context on the status of education in the Commonwealth. This data is collected from the MA Department of Early Education and Care, MA Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, MA Department of Higher Education, and other research and policy organizations. This year’s Data Report tracks a set of 21 state- and local-level indicators aligned with the focus areas in this year's Condition of Education Action Guide. As Bay Staters attempt to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and find their footing in a “new normal,” it is critical that individuals working in the education sector—from classrooms to the State House, from Berkshire County to Barnstable County—have access to updated, relevant, accurate data.
