Want to know how the Somerville Public Schools really compare to Belmont, Arlington and local charter schools?

Following the links to review District profile and statistical information:

• The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education provides online demographic and academic profiles for the District and every school using local enrollment, finance, graduation and testing information.

• The National Center for Education Statistics offers facts about education nationwide and brief profiles of the districts and schools across the nation.

• School Matters, the educational rating system of Standard and Poor's, offers comparisons of public schools in Somerville and around the nation.

The Somerville Public Schools regularly reports demographic, discipline, and student progress data to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). This data is used to develop the annual No Child Left Behind progress report for the District. This 30-page report (page 1 is pictured on the left) is on the DESE website or can be downloaded by clicking the PDF file below.
