Data table
| Series | 2019 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ELA | 68.6% | 55.9% | 60.3% | 60.7% | 70.3% | 77.9% | 75.2% |
| Math | 55.1% | 19.1% | 21.7% | 21.3% | 29.1% | 34.5% | 32% |
| Science | 63.4% | 53.3% | 59.2% | 38.1% | 37.7% | 52% | 53.6% |
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.
