Last month, Maryland State Department of Education revealed School Report Card.

What is School Report Card?

Think of the Maryland School Report Cards as report cards for schools, showing how they're doing in important areas like reading, math, and graduation rates. Anyone can check them out online at https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/ to see how their school is doing and how it can improve.

What does School Report Card measure?

The Maryland School Report Cards hold schools accountable for their performance in key areas like academics, graduation rates, and English language proficiency. These report cards make it easy for parents, educators, and the community to track progress and advocate for better schools for all Maryland students.

Focus on need of parents and educators

For parents, the Maryland School Report Cards offer a clear picture of how their child's school is performing in areas that matter most. Educators can use the report cards to identify areas for improvement and track progress over time. And for the community as a whole, the report cards spark important conversations about how to ensure all Maryland schools are providing a quality education for every student.

Focus on the indicators

Just like a student's report card breaks down their performance in different subjects, the Maryland School Report Cards use "indicators" to measure a school's progress in key areas. These indicators, like academic achievement and graduation rate, provide a comprehensive picture of a school's strengths and weaknesses, helping everyone work together to improve schools across Maryland.
