Analysis
Resources, provision, and context across MCPS schools
These pages cover resource allocation, school provision, policy benchmarks, and context. Public data suppresses small groups and omits detail such as disability category and service intensity, so the pages show the patterns the data can support and note where it runs out.
Special education provision
IEP/SWD and 504 identification, inclusion/LRE, SPED staffing, and apparent caseload, without ranking schools by SWD achievement gaps.
Special education provision varies across MCPS schools
Staffing and student need
Enrollment-adjusted staffing trends, staffing mix, and how resource allocation lines up with school need.
Classroom teacher staffing fell faster than enrollment while support roles grew
Class size vs MCPS targets
Reported class sizes compared with MCPS class-size targets, separated by elementary and secondary context.
Reported class sizes run below MCPS's own targets in every category
Achievement in context
Income, economic disadvantage, multilingual learners, disabilities, and absenteeism as context for achievement comparisons.
Student needs, not neighborhood income, explain school score differences
Explorer
Income and housing map
The attendance-zone map remains available as a geographic explorer for income, home values, poverty, and education.
How to read these pages
- Neighborhood measures describe attendance areas, not necessarily enrolled students.
- Suppressed values are withheld for privacy and should not be read as zero.
- Cross-school patterns are observational; they do not prove what caused an outcome.
- Headlines and numbers come from generated bundle artifacts, not hand-entered page copy.
