I'm not certain of this district's location or host town, so I can't responsibly write the geographic and historical context the profile calls for. The data provided lists the district's name as its only town, which doesn't identify a specific community. The Massachusetts Academy for Math and Science is a real public school in Worcester, a regional public high school that serves students from across the state, and it was founded in 1992 as a residential, state-supported school. If that's the school in question, a profile could read: "Massachusetts Academy for Math and Science is a public high school located in Worcester, the second-largest city in Massachusetts and roughly 40 miles west of Boston. The school serves students from across the Commonwealth, admitting them through a competitive process to pursue a focus on mathematics and science. Worcester, a historic manufacturing city that is home to several colleges and universities, provides the campus setting for the academy." Please confirm the school's address before publishing, since the district's towns field should list the actual municipality it operates in.

Spending is total per-pupil expenditure from all sources. Dollar figures aren't adjusted for inflation. "MA median" is the middle district in each year; small districts can spend far more per student, so the median is a fairer yardstick than the average.
