Posted October 23, 2004

When I went to Graceland Park I was so happy.Every teacher and staff was so nice but since there is a different principal i cant tell how it is now.Graceland has taught me so many things like i cant judge people by their color and that i need to really defend myself and take up for myself and other people.When i went to that school, it had so many great teachers but I dont know about now considering I graduated in 2001.Graceland really made a great influence in my life and i love them for that.That school really made me safe because they had safety patrols in that school but i dont know about now.Graceland has made me the person I am today and I respect them for that.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Maryland used the Maryland School Assessment (MSA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and grades 5 and 8 in science. The MSA is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Maryland. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
