Great! Still not clear why one part of the website says 68.4% and another part says 34%.


MCPS doesn't always update their websites and information. I would trust the scores outside MCPS. MCPS isn't know for transparency.


The MD school report card is not an MCPS website

It probably would have been higher if students did not leave for other schools. They are above the district average. Take out esol and special needs.


The Einstein report card says 34%. If you don't want to look it up, that's fine but that is where it is. It's weird there is a huge discrepancy between what the report card says and what the MCAP data say. I have nothing against Einstein - my child is a future Einstein student. I am curious about this though.

Oh wait that participation rate is for 2024. There doesn't seem to be 2025 participation data.

and details on the Academic Achievement section on page 18 of the document (page 19 of the file)

Just based on a quick skim a difference is that it looks like the Report Card tab uses all students enrolled at the school, compared to the MCAP tab which is just test takers.

And I'm thinking that maybe EL students that did not take the test and other test takers might be counted as part of the denominator.

Haven't read the details more closely yet.


I thought that but under the MCAP tab it looks like 95% of students took the test

When I look it says Einstein has a 68.4 proficiency rate for the English 10 2024-2025 MCAP.

Not sure if this direct link will work:

But maybe try clearing out your cookies in case any filters got saved there.


No, no filter. I am just looking at the second to last table on the "Report Card" tab which lists an ELA proficiency rate of 34% for "All Students" .
https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/ReportCards/ReportCardSchool/1/H/1/15/0789/0

Weird that this 34% number in the report card doesn't match up with the data in the MCAP tab for ELA proficiency.


Yeah I was looking at the 2023-2024 data for both math and ELA and they don't really correspond between the MCAP and Report Card tabs.

I think more details are needed on exactly how those percentages are calculated on the Report Card tab. I don't think I see any details for it on the page.

It is from the MD school report card. I looked up the proficiency rate for all MCPS high schools, which did not significantly change. I also looked up Northwood, Wheaton and Blair and none of them showed this huge drop.

It looks like Einstein's 2025 ELA proficiency rate (34%) is way down. In 2019, 2022, 2023 and 2024 ELA proficiency hovered around 60%. It doesn't seem like other schools had this huge drop - does anyone know what happened?
