Overall Maryland School Assessment (MSA) math and reading scores continue to climb toward the 100 percent proficiency mark for elementary and middle school students in Talbot County Public Schools in 2011.
The Maryland State Department of Education released the 2011 MSA math and reading scores on Wednesday, and Talbot County Public Schools placed at or ahead of the state averages in all overall categories. All third- through eighth-grade students in the state are tested annually in reading and math as required by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) federal law. Each year, passing standards are raised because NCLB requires 100 percent of children to score at the proficient or advanced level by 2014.
According to MSDE, more than 80 percent of all elementary and middle school students in Talbot County earned a proficient or advanced score in reading and math in 2011. The TCPS elementary reading average is about 90 percent at the proficient/advanced level while the state elementary school average is 88 percent.
TCPS middle school reading scores are at 83 percent at the proficient/advanced level with the state middle school average at 83 percent.

ReplyDeleteMy apologies. My son's car was vandalized last night and I lost about three hours of work time helping him out. Since it takes me about 1 hour to do the two posts (I know, Albero doesn't believe me either) I chose to omit them rather than miss other posts.
ReplyDeleteSince you brought them up, do you think that they are a worthwhile thing or not?
They will be back tomorrow, in case you were wondering.
