Attendance
Suspensions
Attendance rates are calculated by dividing the total number of days attended by the
total number of days enrolled during the school year. Chronic absence rate is the
percent of students who were absent more than 20 days, among students who were
enrolled for at least 90 days during the school year. Data are for the school year
ending in the calendar year indicated (i.e., "2014" indicates the 2013-14 school year).
The number of suspensions in a school year
includes all suspension incidents and
expulsions.

School Survey
The annual school survey is given to students in grades 3 to 12, all school-based staff, and parents of students in pre-K to grade 12.
Three separate indices were calculated that represent a combination of student, staff, and parent reports. They reflect key measures of
school climate as defined by the National School Climate Center. Data are not reported when any of the three groups had 5 or fewer
respondents, or if the response rates for students or staff were less than 30%.The Physical Security Index measures the extent to which
students and staff feel safe in a school building, parents feel that their child is safe, and students fighting and bringing weapons to school
is NOT a problem. The Respectful Relationships Index measures the extent to which students and staff report that there are respectful
relationships among students and between students and staff at their school. The School Connectedness Index, which was introduced in
2012-13, measures the extent to which students and staff feel they belong at the school, that parents feel welcome, that staff and parents
work closely to meet students’ needs, and that the administration is responsive to parent and staff concerns. Data are for the school year
ending in the calendar year indicated (i.e., "2014" indicates the 2013-14 school year).

MSA Results
Numbers in parentheses represent the number of students who took each test. Groups are color coded and categorized by basic, proficient, and
advanced performance. “% proficient or advanced” indicates the total percentage of students scoring either proficient or advanced on the MSA.
†In 2014-15 the MSA was replaced by the PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) assessment, aligned to
Maryland’s College and Career-Ready Standards implemented in 2014. Until 2014, the Maryland School Assessment (MSA) was administered in
the spring of each year to all students in grades 3 to 8. It assessed student achievement in both math and reading. By spring 2014, the MSAs did
not align with the teaching and learning students experienced during the school year, as s tudents transitioned to curricula aligned to new
statewide standards. Data are for the school year ending in the calendar year indicated (i.e., "2014" indicates the 2013-14 school year).
