I have been to this school so many years all my life but now im in high school and john banyne is the best all of my family members lived there and i love this school so much. the students help out the little kids and the staff is ok.also some of the teachers are very supportive of students to do there best. they chanllege kids to try harder to do than what they can do. the teachers look after little kids and make sure they are suppose to be taking where they are suppose to be. the lunch is ok (i say bring your own lunch thats how i did). the princple is very support and also very serious all the time to but out of all the princples that i have had she is the best one that any one can ask for she treats kids in the school as if they were her own child she takes them homes if they dont have transportant to get home and she also provides many touring to students.they also have back to school nice and pta meeting every 1 for pta and every 2 or 4 months. to speak the truth i miss that school so much with all my heart i love you john bayne i will visted as soon as i can drive

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.
