Where can I find data on our ES?

[Anonymous]

Can someone point me to where I can find school specific data on MCAP scores, percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch, chronic absenteeism, etc? I can only find outdated info, nothing from last school year.

I work in DCPS and if you google the school name, the first recommendation is a site that provides all of this information about the school.

Unfortunately, over time MCPS has increasingly stopped publishing data and information (they don't do Schools at a Glance anymore, said they'd replace it with "School Profiles" but then they never updated them). You'll eventually see some of this in the MD School Report Card but it takes a while for them to release these.

Probably the most recent school-level information you'll find (which isn't quite what you're looking for) is the results of the most recent school climate survey: https://sharedaccountability.mcpsmd.org/SurveyResults/content.php

There is some 2023-24 data available in the CIP documents, including FARMS rate. Click on the chapter that corresponds to your school cluster, and then towards the end of that chapter there will be several charts.

The At a Glance reports were perfect for this information. Looks like they stopped doing these after the 2022-2023 year. Here is the link if you want to check your school and the somewhat outdated reports:

The at a glance has been replaced with a dashboard. It can be found here
https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/school-profiles/

Or you can search dashboards on the MCPS site.

Yes, but the dashboards still have the 22-23 data. Or 21-22 for some fields.

+1

When they "replaced" the Schools at a Glance they also stopped providing new data

Thanks! So… there isn’t a way I can (easily) see how many kids, say, passed the math assessment last year? This seems impossible.

MCPS really does not want you to know, bluntly.

Actually last year's MCAP results were just shared at the board meeting today:

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.

The information on the dashboard is two or three years old.

School at a glance didn't tell you anything you couldn't find out by looking at SES data for a zip ciode. They still have school at a glance though but call it something else if you need to see what should already be obvious to everyone else.
