BeatsExpectations
Not computed for this schoolBeatsExpectations is not computed for specialized-population schools (schools for the deaf or blind, therapeutic and behavioral-health placements, juvenile-justice and alternative-education settings, and similar). State ELA/Math proficiency rates are not a comparable metric for these populations, so a demographically-adjusted residual against general-enrollment peers would be misleading.

How to read these scores
What is MCAP?
Maryland public-school students take the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) in English Language Arts and Math each spring (grades 3-8 + grade 10). MCAP uses a 4-level performance scale, with Levels 3 and 4 indicating proficiency.
What does "% Proficient (Levels 3-4)" mean?
It is the percentage of students at the school who scored at Performance Level 3 ("Proficient") or Level 4 ("Distinguished") on MCAP. Levels 3 and 4 are MCAP's grade-level benchmark — top 2 of 4 performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 0.0% mean for English Language Arts at Frederick County Virtual?
It means about 0.0 percent of students tested at Frederick County Virtual performed at grade level or above on the MCAP English Language Arts test in 2023-24. The statewide average for Maryland that year was 47.4%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in Maryland, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
Maryland State Department of Education, Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP). School-level Performance Level data scraped from the Maryland Report Card SPA. Headline metric is the cumulative 'Proficient or Distinguished' rate (Performance Levels 3 + 4 on MCAP's 4-level scale).
How often is it updated?
MCAP is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
