Data table
| Series | 2019 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ELA | 84.3% | 74.1% | 75.6% | 82.7% | 83.1% | 88.4% | 89% |
| Math | 72.6% | 41.7% | 45.3% | 50.6% | 54.4% | 55.4% | 59.7% |
| Science | 73.9% | 70.6% | 72.5% | 63.2% | 47.4% | 72.7% | 70.8% |
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.
