In Mansfield, town students still far exceed the state averages in both CMT and CAPT scores. CMT scores were mixed, but mostly saw gains in 2012 over 2011. Some grade levels saw relatively strong increases, while others saw drops in individual testing areas.
In releasing the CMT and CAPT test scores for individual districts this year, the state Department of Education said that CMT scores — given to students in grades 3 through 8 — improved incrementally while CAPT performance — administered to 10th-graders and required for graduation — was mixed.
"While student performance increased in all content areas when compared to the CAPT baseline year of 2007, it decreased in some areas when compared to last year," the department said in a news release. "As compared to 2011, performance increased slightly in writing, remained relatively constant in science and reading, and decreased in mathematics."
