MCPS just blasted out the link to the Maryland Department of Education School Report cards.
Here's their announcement: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/publicinfo/community/school-year-2022-2023/Community-Message-20230310.html They're very proud to have the number of schools in the 5 category increase, as they went from 37 #5 schools in 2019 to 53 #5 schools in 2022. But at the same time, the number of #2 schools increased from 9 to 15. Of course, all of this performance data is impacted and colored by COVID, so it's important to look at those metrics from that lens. Here's the website: https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/ How did your kids' school do? |

| It would be nice if there was a way to just get a list of all MCPS schools rather than having to look up one at a time. |
Do these bulk averages give us much insight into what opportunities or outcomes are like for specific kids? |

W Schools (ranked from highest to lowest)
1. Walt Whitman High School: https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/ReportCards/ReportCardSchool/1/H/1/15/0427/0 2. Winston Churchill High School: https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/ReportCards/ReportCardSchool/1/H/1/15/0602/0 3. Thomas Wooton High School: https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/ReportCards/ReportCardSchool/1/H/1/15/0234/0 4. Walter Johnson High School: https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/ReportCards/ReportCardSchool/1/H/1/15/0424/0 |
| Here's the district-level snapshot of MCPS from MSDE's findings for 2022 as well: https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/AtaGlance/Index/3/17/6/15/XXXX/2022 |
I'm completely shocked that the lowest FARMS school has the highest score! |
| At the ES level, I think it is interesting that the MCAP data isn't loaded up. It's clear that the data exists, but there's no easy way to see it. |
| You forgot the BCC inside the Ws/ |
I was told B-CC is NOT a W school so I didn't want to get admonished for making that mistake.

Initially, BCC was assigned to the DCC but the parents went nuts and put a stop to that. Nevertheless, it is the most down county of any HS. |
Whitman is slightly further south. |
OK, fine. Here they are School Total Earned Points Whitman 83.6 Churchill 82.8 Wootton 80.4 BCC 76.2 Walter Johnson 76 Richard Montgomery 70.4 Poolesville 69.7 Sherwood 68.8 Northwest 68 Clarksburg 66.9 Damascus 66.3 Quince Orchard 65.7 Rockville 65.3 Einstein 63.9 Blair 63.2 Magruder 62.1 Wheaton 61.6 Springbrook 61.6 Blake 61.1 Paint Branch 59.2 Seneca Valley 58.3 Northwood 55.8 Gaithersburg 53 Watkins Mill 52.2 Kennedy 49.2 Pretty close to the reverse of a FARMS rate-sorted list. So neither surprising nor meaningful. |
