Worcester School System Continues Report Card Review; County Proud Of Four-Star Ratings

NEWARK – Education officials continue to review data associated with the state’s new school rating system.

Officials with Worcester County Public Schools say they’re still looking at the ratings associated with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and determining what the new system means for local schools. The Maryland Report Card issued in December revealed that all of the county’s eligible schools received four out of a possible five stars under the new rating system.

“I know we will have five -star schools next year,” said Annette Wallace, the school system’s chief operating officer.

At the last meeting of the Worcester County Board of Education, staff reviewed the new system and explained how ratings were developed.

Don't worry next year students will be thoroughly indoctrinated and we will get our 5 star rating.

The county can have the best 5000 star education, yet lack the plentiful non-resort type jobs available after the 5000 star kids exit college. OR jobs for non-college folks....

All part of sound strategic plan...
