Data table
| Series | 2019 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ELA | 81.1% | 57.7% | 82.3% | 80.8% | 84.2% | 80% | 80.4% |
| Math | 75.7% | 52.6% | 72.2% | 74.7% | 77.2% | 73.7% | 70.4% |
| Science | 73.5% | 78.3% | 68.2% | 62.1% | 54.8% | 48.3% | 57.1% |
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.
