[Joseph Michael, the president of the Maryland State Board of Education and a former math teacher, explained that the change to the state standards — the first since 2013, put the focus on the need to improve student performance.

He told his colleagues on the board that in 2011, 26% of eighth graders’ math skills in Maryland were rated at below basic, “and today, that number is at 46%, well above the national average.”] -K Ryan wtop

The standards go into effect in the classroom in the 2026-27 school year, giving a chance for each school district to integrate the new approach in their curriculum.

What is MCPS' plan? [/quote]

Does this 8th grade math statistic need some context? I know when it’s quoted for MCPS people always have to remind that it’s related only to students taking Math8 and doesn’t include the students taking Algebra.  [/quote]
