State test results: about 89 percent of Green Street Academy failed math

Hs 03

About 11 to 12 percent of Green Street Academy students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and about 89 percent of students failed, according to a Baltimore City Wire analysis of the latest Maryland schools report card.

The Maryland State Department of Education did not provide exact figures for some groups of Green Street Academy students because those groups included less than 5 percent of students who tested in the school. The analysis includes a range where exact totals can't be calculated.

The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, is administered to third- through eighth-graders in Maryland, testing them in reading and math based on Common Core standards.

According to Green Street Academy math scores, about 11 percent met expectations and 0 to 1 percent exceeded them. Students whose results are in either category are considered ready to move on to the next level and are most prepared for college or work.

Another about 21 percent approached expectations, while 36.9 percent partially met expectations and 31.4 percent did not meet them. Students who scored in these categories are not ready for the next level.

The school's results fell below state averages. In Maryland, about 28 percent of students met expectations on the math tests and about 5 percent exceeded them, putting the percentage of students who passed at about 33 percent. The rest about 67 percent failed, with about 26 percent of students approaching expectations, about 23 percent partially meeting expectations and about 18 percent not meeting them.
