Maryland has received approval for ESEA flexibility in 2015 and will implement an accountability system to improve educational outcomes for all students, close achievement gaps, increase equity and improve the quality of instruction.
Maryland collects student demographic data that helps further clarify the populations served by the state's schools and local education authorities. Among the information collected are basic enrollment, attendance, student mobility, classifications of students receiving special services and school teacher qualifications.
Students in grades 3-8 and high school participated in the PARCC assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics. PARCC complements, but does not replace, the existing Maryland School Assessment, which assesses performance in science in grades 5 and 8; the Alternate Maryland School Assessment (for students with disabilities); or the Maryland High School Assessments in Biology and Government. In addition students take other assessments such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress and college Readiness tests like AP and SAT. Students who are identified as English learners also take an annual English language proficiency assessment.
Maryland collects Nationwide College Enrollment data for Maryland graduates from the National Student Clearinghouse along with Maryland Public College Enrollment and Maryland Public College Credit data from the Maryland Higher Education Commission. Maryland captures this information to determine the post-secondary enrollment and college credit earned of Maryland graduates.
