[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what "middle of the pack" results some of you are talking about, but here is the Education Week survey that was referenced.  The scores seem a little suspect to me, but the rankings are certainly not "middle of the pack."

[quote]State Overview

This year, [b]Maryland finishes 6th[/b] among the 50 states and the District of Columbia, with an overall score of 82.4 out of 100 points and a grade of B-minus. The nation as a whole posts a grade of C.
Diving into the findings for the three graded indices, Maryland earns a B in the Chance-for-Success category and [b]ranks ninth[/b]. The average state earns a C-plus. In School Finance, Maryland receives a B and [b]ranks seventh[/b]. For the K-12 Achievement Index, last updated in the 2016 report, it finishes [b]fifth [/b]with a grade of C-plus. The average state earns grades of C and C-minus in School Finance and K-12 Achievement, respectively.[/quote]

When Hogan came into office, we jad been number one  in this survey for years.  Yay, he has made us more mediocre, B- education for all!  Next year, you’ll be tellinf us it’s a gentleman’s C.  The man has only  been in  for three years, who knows how low he can take us with another four years.

Btw, the middle of the pack language to a a result of the huge drop in Maryland’ students’ performance in standardized tests over the past few years.  http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/education/bs-md-naep-special-ed-20151028-story.html[/quote]

+1  Maryland retained its number one ranking in Education Week ratings from 2009 until 2013. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/educatio...mber-three-20150108-story.html There has been a rapid decline sinceHogan took office in January 2015. [/quote]
