In addition to quarterly assessments, students take the following state assessments and earn a passing score for graduation:
MCAP Mathematics for Algebra I Assessment (End of Course Grade)Â
MCAP English 10 Assessment.  Â
HSA in US Government (normally in 10th grade). Â
MISA in Science (9th, 10th, or 11th grade, depending on the student's course sequence).Â
The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future law focuses on College and Career Readiness (CCR) for graduating seniors. Under this law, CCR is a designation that students may earn at the end of Grade 10. In January of 2024, the State Board of Education (SBOE) determined that students could earn the CCR designation in one of three ways:
Â
Cumulative (unweighted) GPA of 3.0 or higher at the end of grade 10 AND a grade of C or better in the Algebra 1 course.
Cumulative (unweighted) GPA of 3.0 or higher at the end of grade 10 AND scoring a 750 or above on the MCAP Algebra 1 assessment.
Scoring a 750 or above on both the MCAP Algebra 1 AND MCAP ELA 10 assessments.
The CCR designation is NOT a requirement for graduation.Â
