The Board of Higher Education in Massachusetts manages a student unit record system that tracks enrollment, graduation and demographic data across the state's public two- and four-year institutions. It is linked to Employment Services' Unemployment Insurance data, but is not linked to the state's K-12 data systems. The K-12 data system has been rapidly developing in recent years. Legislation requires that the Massachusetts State Board of Education evaluate the performance of both school districts and individual schools on an annual basis, reporting the extent to which schools succeed in improving student performance. The Board of Higher Education is similarly charged to conduct a benchmark study at least every seven years to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the public system of higher education and to make recommendations on how the system may fulfill its mission more effectively. Massachusetts colleges and universities are required to annually report on a set of performance indicators. In addition, the legislature established a requirement for a student assessment to be administered within the system of higher education to measure student improvement between the first and fourth years of attendance in order to assess the performance of higher education institutions in fostering learning and academic growth.

After about two-thirds of candidates for initial licensure in the state failed its new teacher assessment, in 1998 the Massachusetts legislature passed legislation to encourage "the best and brightest" to teach in public schools by offering a $20,000 signing bonus (over three years with at least $8,000 given the first year) to select candidates. These candidates - and other applicants who either receive a scholarship or pay tuition - go through an alternative route program at the Massachusetts Institute for New Teachers (MINT), completing a seven-week training before teaching in districts across the state. In the first three years, almost 3,000 people from over 40 states and eight countries applied for the bonus program. However, by November 2002, the state revamped the program replacing the fast-track preparation designed by the New Teacher Project with year-long programs designed by three of the state's education schools. By many accounts, the program failed to recruit and retain teachers for the 13 designated high-need areas, although the state maintains that the effort was worth its cost and that it learned many lessons in how to better recruit and retain teachers.
