I attended Traceys now my kids are attending. It is a great school, the teachers are caring and the parent/family involvement is great. It is a great school.

Posted September 20, 2006

My 3 children are young and I am relatively new to having them in school. Two children are currently attending Tracey's. Both started their enrollment there in Kindergarten and are now in 2nd & 1st grades. I have found their teachers to be very helpful & professional. There is a lot of parent involvement in our school and I think that speaks very well of all the staff, the PTA and of the community in which we live. Currently our home school is under renovations to add space and modernize, so we have been sharing space with Southern Middle School. The transition could've posed a lot of problems, but the staff and especially the principals of both schools worked very well together to make it 'appear' seamless. This is our second year there and we'll probably move during the second semester of 07/08. I am proud of my children's school!

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.
