MCAP Spring 2023 Testing Cancelled

The Maryland High School Assessments (HSA) are end of course tests that gauge both school performance and individual student performance, providing valuable information to students, parents, and school improvement teams. The Maryland High School Assessments (HSA) are four tests-PARCC Algebra & ELA and Government HSA and the Maryland Integrated Science Assessment (MISA).   

For more information, please refer to the Prince George's County Public School Testing Department website.

"The Bridge Plan for Academic Validation – approved by the State Board of Education and included in the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) –provides a process that helps ensure all students have a fair opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills if traditional testing instruments are not effective measures for them. The Bridge Plan for Academic Validation reflects research into similar plans for alternatives to passing State assessments currently in place in numerous other states across the country. It has particular implications for students with disabilities, students with 504 Plans, English Language Learners, and students who experience test anxiety or who do not perform well on a traditional test."
