Looks like there are about 921,180 public school K-12 students in Massachusetts (at least as of 2021-2022). If they all sat the test, that's about $40 per test. But state standardized testing in my state is only administered in, like, five grades; so probably closer to $80 per test. And that's generous, because kids don't have to take it every year if they passed it the previous year, and they also alternate some subjects year to year.
In any case, even $80 is definitely enough that, if I lived in Massachusetts, I'd assume a human was looking at each essay. Insist, even.
