This state report card is derived from &quot;Measuring Up 2004,&quot; the national report card for higher education. Its purpose is to provide the public and policymakers with information to assess and improve postsecondary education in each state. &quot;Measuring Up 2004&quot; is the third in a series of biennial report cards. The report card grades states in six overall performance categories: (1) Preparation: How adequately are students in each state being prepared for education and training beyond high school?; (2) Participation: Do state residents have sufficient opportunities to enroll in education and training beyond high school?; (3) Affordability: How affordable is higher education for students and their families?; (4) Completion: Do students make progress toward and complete their certificates and degrees in a timely manner?; (5) Benefits: What benefits does the state receive as a result of having a highly educated population?; and (6) Learning: What is known about student learning as a result of education and training beyond high school? Findings for Massachusetts include: (1) Over the past decade, Massachusetts has improved on its already excellent performance in preparing students to succeed in college. This year Massachusetts receives an A in preparation; (2) Over the past decade, Massachusetts has consistently excelled in the number of students enrolling in higher education. This year Massachusetts receives an A in participation; (3) Over the past decade, Massachusetts has made no notable progress in the affordability of higher education. This year Massachusetts is one of many states to receive an F in affordability; (4) In Massachusetts, over the past decade, a high proportion of students earned their certificates or degrees in a timely manner. This year that positive performance continues, and Massachusetts receives an A in completion; (5) Massachusetts, over the past decade, has seen a consistent increase in the benefits accruing to the state from having a more highly educated population. Massachusetts receives an A in benefits this year; and (6) Like most states, Massachusetts received an Incomplete in learning because there are no comparable data that would allow for meaningful state-by-state comparisons in learning. This report also includes additional information, questions and answers, state grades, and &quot;Measuring Up 2004&quot; resources.
