Maryland’s public schools score below 86% of New York districts on tests and graduation

On the state reading tests, 27% of Maryland’s students scored proficient, below the New York average (49%). The grade covers the public school district serving Maryland, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within New York, not nationally.
