A Messagefrom the State
Superintendentof Schools
Welcome to Maryland's 1998 SchoolPerformance Report!
As together we stand at the threshold of a new century, weunderstand that high standards and clear expectations forreaching those standards are vital for our students todevelop the skills and knowledge that they need to com-pete successfully in the future. This report documents theprogress our students and schools are making toward
meeting Maryland's rigorous standards. You will also see areas in which we mustimprove. But through continual progress and evaluation, including this annualreport, we are able to provide excellent schools, a first-class education for ouryoung people, and school reform that is a model for state school systems across thenation.
Maryland's school reform program began in 1989 when the Governor'sCommission on School Performance recommended improving the state's educa-tional system. In response, the Maryland State Board of Education began the com-prehensive reforms that made Maryland one of the first states to hold schoolsaccountable for a high quality education and measurable results for all students.This report is an important part of those reforms.
In holding Maryland educators accountable for the quality of education thatour children receive, we are guided by these three fundamental premises:
All children can learn.All children have the right to attend schools in which they canprogress and learn.All children shall have a real opportunity to learn equally rigorouscontent.
This report presents information and the standards of performance that pro-vide the basis for school improvement. It represents a rich resource for parents, stu-dents, teachers, and citizens to examine achievement in our school systems.
This year's report includes results from the Maryland School PerformanceAssessment Program (MSPAP), as well as standards for performance in reading,writing, language usage, mathematics, science, and social studies. These standardsreflect the performance that we should expect from our schools. The report alsocontains attendance rates, dropout rates, and results from the Maryland FunctionalTesting Program.
Changes in classroom instruction that are taking place across Maryland arekey to achieving our demanding but attainable standards. Although we have notyet reached our goals, data in this report show that we are making steady progresstoward our vision of excellence.
Thank you for examining this report and for your interest in education. Thesuccess of our state and local efforts to improve all Maryland schools depends uponyour continued interest and involvement in our schools each and every day.
Nancy S. GrasmickDecember 1998
52 MARYLAND SCHOOL PERFORMANCE REPORT,. 1998
The goal of the Maryland School Performance Program is for each
school to offer an excellent education to its students. Thus, the
performances of school systems and individual schools are judged against
their own growth from year to year, not against growth in other school
systems or in other schools. This is an important point to remember as you
review the data contained in this booklet and in its companion reports.
Since 1991, the Maryland School Performance Report has been
published in two parts. The state and school system level report contains
information on Maryland and its twenty-four school systems; the school
system and school level reports include school level information.
Data reported with standar& in this publication were chosen for
statewide reporting because they:
can be influenced by the school;
are comparable across the state;
are essential for student and school
improvement;
can help improve classroom instruction; and
can be measured by statewide standards
of "satisfactory" and "excellent."
Other data reported without standards describe school, school
system, and state characteristics. School populations differ greatly in
Maryland, and this information describes those differences.

Maryland School Petformance (MSPAP)These annual tests require students in grades 3, 5, and 8 to apply what they know
about reading, writing, language usage, mathematics, science, and social studies.Unlike functional tests, which measure basic knowledge, the MSPAP tests set highexpectations and demand high performance.
During the MSPAP tests, students must apply knowledge across subject areas.They must show that they understand reading selections and that they can developwritten responses, solve multistep mathematics problems, conduct science investiga-tions, and demonstrate their understandingof social studies concepts.

Standards are measures of performance against which yearly results are compared. Standards help to
examine critical aspects of instructional programs; help to ensure that all students receive quality instruction;
hold educators accountable for quality instruction; and help to guide efforts toward school improvement.
Maryland has divided its standards into three areas:
Excellent is a highly challenging and exemplary level of achievement indicating outstanding accom-
plishment in meeting the needs of students.
Satisfactory is a realistic and rigorous level of achievement indicating proficiency in meeting the needs
of students.
Not Met is a level of achievement indicating that more work is needed to attain proficiency in meeting
the needs of students.
