&lt;p&gt;Measuring and Evaluating Trends for Reliability, Integrity, and Continued Success Act - Amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to require each state receiving school improvement funds to implement, within four years of this Act's enactment, a pre- through high-school longitudinal data system that includes: (1) a unique and consistent statewide student identifier; (2) the ability to track student participation and performance over time; (3) a unique and consistent statewide teacher identifier that matches student records to the appropriate teacher; and (4) the ability to link its data to data from higher education, workforce development, unemployment insurance, child welfare, juvenile justice, and military services information systems.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Allots funds to states to operate, upgrade, and optimize the use of their data systems.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reserves funds for competitive grants to nonprofit entities to support state education data centers.&lt;/p&gt;
