Was this on the Western Shore? Or was for complete state of MD. From news I've heard recently kids were not doing so well in their studies.

For some reason I have a hard time believing this. Especially when all Wicomico County Schools failed to meet AYP. The only students that can pass successfully are Magnet and Gate Students. Home school kids are there to participate in the Kiddie Warehouse Program for the free baby sitting service with 3 meals and snacks a day.
