English Language Learners perform well on state tests

 

Preliminary results on the Maryland State Assessments have brought good news for Frederick County Public Schools this year.

 

Compared to 2007, more students in total scored "proficient" or "advanced" on the reading and math tests in every grade level. The Maryland State Assessments measure achievement for students in grades three through eight. 

Students in historically underperforming subgroups, especially English Language Learners, have also showed significant gains. The overall performance of these students is still lower than that of all students in the county, but test results this year show increases and indicate that difference in Frederick County is shrinking.
