A new report says Maryland fell two spots from leading the nation in school performance, though it's still ahead of the rest of the Mid-Atlantic region and most of the country.
Education Week's Quality Counts report ranked Maryland No. 3, down from its spot at No. 1 between 2009 and 2013. Massachusetts and New Jersey topped the list.
Citing state officials and Education Week, The Baltimore Sun reports that Maryland's downgrade is because of a change in the ranking criteria, not a performance dip.

Can dip any lower
such BS these kids are being short changed on their education
Where does Wicomico rank within the state? Understand we have fallen under Frederickson.
It doesn't matter where we fall under Dr F. This survey is a joke. There is no way MD is #3 in the Nation.
Where is the outcry from the teachers? They can justify their pay checks but not the drop in educational numbers? Everyone of you teachers are hypocrites!
Teachers have no say over policies that determine how the school system is governed and what students are to be taught and how. It is not hypocritical for them to state how hard they work while not defending the policies dictated to them.
if you believe these trade publication surveys, you prolly believe there is no inflation and I have a bridge I'd like to sell you
I don't believe it for a second.
No dip in performance? What happened to the scandal of fudging the test numbers by not including the special ed students like everyone else?
