This spring all students in the state of Maryland enrolled in grades three through eight as well as students taking English 10, Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Geometry will participate in Maryland’s Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) English Language Arts and Mathematics tests. Federal guidelines require Maryland to test in both English/Language Arts and Mathematics each year in grades 3-8 and in selected high school content courses. The Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) test will help measure students’ mastery of English Language Arts, Literacy, and Mathematics.
Our testing window begins April 7th and ends May 16th. Students needing to participate in make-up testing may test through Friday, May 23rd. During this window your student will participate in both ELA and Math testing, using a computer device to access the test. Different grade levels will participate in the tests over the course of the testing window, according to our school’s testing schedule.
