NOTES: 1. The end of course High School Assessment exams in English 2 and Algebra/Data Analysis satisfy the federal NCLB requirement to test students once in High School. Students in Maryland are required to pass the four High School Assessment Exams as a graduation requirement. The pass rates for students are reported based on a status model on page 15.

2. For disaggregated test scores at the State, local school system, and local school levels, please visit the Maryland Public Schools Report Card website at www.mdreportcard.org. NOTE: HSA status shows the number of students by grade and

subgroup who have taken all four HSA tests—Algebra/Data Analysis, Biology, Government, and English—and met the Maryland High School Assessment requirement for graduation. Please note that to graduate, students must also meet additional state and local requirements.

NOTES:1. Education effort is calculated by dividing local education appropriation by local wealth and indexing to State average.

2. Local education appropriations reflect actual numbers reported to MSDE by the LEAs in their Annual Budget reports in accordance with Appendix B of the Financial Reporting Manual, Maryland Public Schools. The appropriations include monies received out of funds set aside for school purposes, but do not include funds received by the LEA from other sources, such as gifts and bequests or funds generated by the LEA through rental of LEA facilities, user fees, tuition, earnings from investments, loans, debt proceeds or sale of assets.

3. Local wealth is the amount used in the current expense formula (Section 5-202 of the Education Article) and includes county assessable base for fiscal year 2010 (July 1, 2009) and net taxable income for tax year 2008 (September 1, 2009).

^ The MDK12 Digital Library, a purchasing consortium made up of all 24 school systems and a number of non-publics in the state of Maryland, has made the purchase of digital resources affordable for even our smallest districts. For 2009-2010, all schools had access to 8 databases through SIRS/ProQuest, purchased by each school district as part of the master agreement, and middle/high schools had access to the Gale Science Resource Center through an agreement with the State Library Resource Center and SAILOR.

• Education Week’s 2010 Quality Counts ranked Maryland’s public schools #1 in the nation again. Maryland has been recognized as the nation’s number one public school system for the past two years in a row, consistently placing at the top of its class in the report’s 6 determining categories and scored no lower than a B in any given area. Education Week is the nation’s leading education newspaper.

• In 2010, College Board ranked Maryland #1 for the second year in a row for percentage of public school students scoring 3 or higher on at least one AP exam: a score of 3 through 5 is considered mastery of college-level work. Maryland has also dramatically increased AP participation among minority students, with Hispanic student representation among test-takers earning a score of 3 or higher (7.5%) actually exceeded the group’s overall school enrollment (6.8%). Another 9.6% of Maryland test-takers scoring a 3 or higher were African-American; the fourth highest percentage in the nation.

• In August 2010, Maryland received $250 million in the competitive federal Race to the Top (RTTT) program. The Maryland State Department of Education’s RTTT program will build on three decades of school reform with a five-prong strategy that will provide the appropriate challenges and supports to students, educators, and administrators. Maryland’s goal is to help our students to not only compete with their peers across the nation but globally. This means recognizing and acting on the new reality that a high school diploma is just the starting point; every student must be prepared to succeed in college or the workplace.

• The 2010 Newsweek Magazine’s Top High Schools List says Maryland has the highest percentage of rigorous high schools in the nation for the second straight year. Over half of Maryland’s public high schools (98 of 185) placed on the 2010 list, representing 15 of Maryland’s 24 local school systems and covering the five Maryland regions—Eastern Shore, Metro Baltimore, Metro D.C., Southern, and Western.

• Over 4.2 million Maryland public school students engaged in 14,534 service-learning projects during the 2009-2010 school year. The graduating Class of 2009 amassed over 4 million hours of service-learning activities, which is a conservative estimate since many students volunteer well over the required 75 hours (59,000 students x 75 hours = 4,425,000). Maryland is the only state with a service learning requirement for high school graduates.

• In 2009, 78 percent of entering kindergarteners were fully ready for school, according to their teachers. While that overall readiness figure is up 29 percentage points since 2001, important domains show even greater growth: Readiness in Language and Literacy has risen 31 points and Mathematical Thinking has climbed 32 points.
