Dear Parents and Guardians:

The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) has released the 2023 Maryland Report Card for all schools in the state of Maryland.  Our school’s Maryland Report Card can be found at this link. 

The Maryland Report Card is designed to evaluate school success in several ways, measuring state test results in English Language Arts/Literacy and math; postsecondary readiness; progress of English learners in achieving English language proficiency; graduation rate; and students with access to and earning credit for a well-rounded curriculum.

Below are a few resources to help you understand the Maryland Report Card:

Frequently Asked Questions

While the Maryland Report Card does provide important information about our schools, it provides a limited view into the progress of our more than 161,000 students.  To better understand how our schools are serving all of our students, MCPS has developed the Equity Accountability Model that provides a more detailed and focused report of school success. The Equity Accountability Model uses multiple and frequent measures of students’ progress to determine if a school is meeting the needs of ALL students, with a special emphasis on reducing and eliminating disparities in student achievement.
