The 2015 results from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) show that if Massachusetts were a nation, it would share the top spot in reading with eight other nations worldwide! In science, the state's students and those from 10 nations came in second, and in math, 11 other nations were ahead of the Commonwealth.
"These results are evidence of what many of us already know: Many Massachusetts schools offer a world-class education," said Commissioner Chester. "I am grateful to all the teachers and families who do so much for our students, and I know educators will join me as we work to ensure that every child in the Commonwealth has access to a first-class education."
Coverage of the results included this piece from the Boston Globe and this Associated Press article.
