Abstract: The article discusses educational reform in Massachusetts. The author discusses the 1993 Education Reform Act, which introduced the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS), a standardized test designed to evaluate whether student learning meets state educational goals. The author suggests the MCAS test does not adequately measure student proficiency and has increased the chances of minority students dropping out. She notes changes in school curricula due to the MCAS test such as reductions in art, music and theater programs and discusses a program using peer reviewing in which students evaluate each other's writing assignments. She suggests education reforms should instill creative problem solving in students and increase students' community involvement.
