What is an accountability system?
Maryland’s accountability system measures school and local education agency performance. It provides information to
educators, parents, and the public about each school and paves the way for improvement. Through a strong accountability
system, stakeholders gain an understanding of how schools are doing and where support is needed in order for those schools
to perform better.
What does the Maryland Report Card include?
- Indicators of school performance:
Student achievement and growth on state tests in English Language Arts and
mathematics; student achievement on state tests in science (elementary and
middle schools); student access to and credit for a well-rounded curriculum;
graduation rate (high schools); progress of English learner students in
achieving English language proficiency; student readiness for postsecondary
success (high schools); and school quality and student success (including
measures of chronic absenteeism and a school survey).
- Information about schools throughout the State:
Users can view the Report Card for any school and local education agency in
