Academic Performance & Context
MCAS results, enrollment, and accountability data for the district are published and updated each year by DESE. Because the Up-Island Regional district serves grades K through 8, four-year graduation rates are reported for the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School the town’s students attend, not for this district. Because these figures change annually, this guide links to the live state profile rather than reprinting numbers that quickly go stale.
