Hostile environment, kids get away with walking out of class, cursing at teachers, tearing up school property. Admin will yell at staff in front of students. Huge turnover rate.

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.
