Attendance
Suspensions
Attendance rates are computed by dividing the total number of days attended by the total number
of days enrolled for the entire school year. Chronic absence is the percent of students who were
absent more than 20 days, among students who were enrolled for at least 90 days.
The number of suspensions in a school year
includes all suspension incidents and expulsions.

School Survey
The annual School Survey is administered to students in grades 3-12, all school-based staff, and parents of students in PreK-12. Three separate indices were
calculated that represent a combination of student, staff, and parent report. These three indices reflect key measures of school climate as defined by the
National School Climate Center. Data is unavailable when any of the three stakeholder groups had 5 or fewer respondents and if the response rates for
students or staff were less than 30%.The Physical Security Index measures the extent to which students and staff feel safe in a school building, parents feel
that their child is safe, and students fighting and bringing weapons to school is NOT a problem. The Respectful Relationships Index measures the extent to
which students and staff report that there are respectful relationships among students, and between students and staff, at their school. The School
Connectedness Index, which is new for 2013, measures the extent to which students and staff feel they belong at the school, that parents feel welcome, that
staff and parents work closely to meet students’ needs, and that the administration is responsive to parent and staff concerns.

MSA Results
The Maryland School Assessment (MSA) is administered in the spring of each year to all students in Grades 3-8. It assesses
student achievement in both math and reading. Numbers in parentheses represent student counts for math and reading,
respectively. Groups are color coded and categorized by Basic, Proficient, and Advanced performance. “% Proficient/Advanced”
indicates the total percentage of students scoring either Proficient or Advanced on the MSA.

grade in 2007. 4-Year measures include outcomes through August after the 4th year; 5-Year measures include outcomes through June after the 5th year.

Paths to Graduation
Annual HSA Pass Rates
Maryland high school students can fulfill graduation requirements in one of three
ways: 1) by passing all High School Assessment (HSA) exams (or achieving a
sufficient composite score on all exams), 2) by completing a Bridge Plan for
Academic Validation, or 3) by receiving a limited waiver from the Maryland State
Department of Education (MSDE). The percentages below represent the proportion
of graduates who fulfilled their graduation requirements via each method. HSA
Exams included English, Biology, and Algebra in 2012 and 2013. In 2011, passing
an HSA exam in Government was also a graduation requirement.
The Maryland High School Assessments (HSA) are tests that measure school and
individual student progress toward Maryland's High School Core Learning Goals.
The HSAs are given in October, January, May, and July/August. A special, seniorsonly, administration is given in April. City Schools calculates annual HSA pass rates
as the percent of all test takers in a school who passed the HSA within the given
school year. This rate includes results from the HSA exams in Algebra, Biology,
English, and Government (2011 and 2013 only).

Advanced Placement (AP) Performance
The AP Examinations are administered each year in May and represent the culmination of college-level work in a given discipline in a high school setting. The exams test students' ability
to perform at a college level. Data are provided by the College Board. Results include all AP exams taken within the given school year. Students can take more than one AP exam; the data
below represents the total of number of exams taken at the school. A score of 3 is considered Qualified by the College Board, and is often accepted for college course credit. (Note: A value
of “S” indicates that fewer than 10 exams were taken at the school, and results were suppressed)
