Funding

How Massachusetts funds schools

Massachusetts funds schools through Chapter 70: the state sets each district’s foundation budget (the minimum adequate spending level), determines each municipality’s required local contribution from property and income wealth, and fills the gap with state aid. The 2019 Student Opportunity Act raised the foundation rates for employee benefits, special education, English learners and low-income students, still phasing in.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Webster School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

Massachusetts does not assign A–F letter grades; its DESE accountability system reports an accountability percentile (1–99) and a criterion-referenced classification of whether a district is meeting its targets, across achievement, growth, high-school completion, English-learner progress and chronic absenteeism. Look up Webster School District on the Massachusetts school and district report cards.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

The main voluntary K-12 accreditor for Massachusetts is NEASC (the New England Association of Schools and Colleges), an elective, membership-based process. Search Webster School District’s schools in the NEASC directory.
