Students in grades 6- 8 who participated in the fall 2021 Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) will be bringing home score reports on Tuesday, February 8.
The reports show prior grade level understanding in math and English language arts. Sixth graders' reports also show prior grade level understanding for science. These assessments are just one measure of your child's performance and provide you with insight into your child's level of proficiency. Federal accountability requires that students assess annually in grades 3-8 and once in high school. The assessments delivered in early fall of 2021 were the postponed assessments from the 2020-2021 school year. Reports reflect proficiency in the previous year’s grade level or course. These results never stand alone in assessing student growth, and will be used in combination with other assessments and class work to gauge overall student performance. For more information, please visit the early fall HCPSS FAQ.
