Data table
| Series | 2019 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ELA | 55.2% | 34.3% | 56% | 49.6% | 52.7% | 46% | 56.6% |
| Math | 51.4% | 19.8% | 41.4% | 42.5% | 43.9% | 34.1% | 41.9% |
| Science | 38.6% | 64.1% | 25% | 46.7% | 36% | 22.9% | 28.6% |
Testing paused in 2020. Science scoring changed twice (2019 pre-MCAP scale; 2021 three bands, two pooled administrations; four bands from 2022), so science points before 2022 aren't comparable to later ones. Science swung sharply statewide between 2023 and 2026 (down, then back up, one grade at a time); those moves likely reflect the state assessment, not school-level change.
Class size
Average class size by grade band over recent years, with the latest year measured against MCPS's published guideline.
