The Maryland Department of Education released its 2024 public schools report card, listing percentile grades for every public school.
Overall, the 160,000 students enrolled at Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) showed limited improvement and met few annual targets.
In a news release, MCPS called the results “disappointingly flat” but still better than the state average.
There were a wide variety of results, with some schools reaching the highest grade of five out of five while many more were in the three or four out of five range. Almost every school scored a three or higher on the annual star rating.
Walt Whitman High and Bannockburn Elementary schools each received the top grade.
About half the 202 schools obtained a four or five rating, which is a 1.8% increase from the previous year.
MCPS schools exceeded the state average by 9%. Statewide, 41% of Maryland schools earned four or five star ratings.
