 Maryland’s Accountability System
The accountability system
• What measures and indicators are part of the system?
• How are points assigned to the measures and indicators?
• What happens if a measure doesn’t apply?
• How will the total score be calculated?
• How will the “stars” be assigned?
What will “School Report Cards” look like?

 How are points assigned to the measures
and indicators?
METHOD 1: “Percent of a whole”
Ex: If the indicator is worth 10 points, and a school scores 70%, then the school
receives 10 points x 70% = 7 points.

METHOD 2: “Assigned scores.”
Points are assigned based on standards or intervals.

Ex:
0-60.0%

70.1-80%

 What happens if a measure doesn’t apply?
For the 2017-2018 school year:
 Elementary schools will have a maximum possible 85 points
 No science achievement (5 points), climate survey (10 points)
 Possibly other measures may not apply (ex: ELP) if minimum N sizes are
not met
 Middle schools will have a maximum possible 83 points
 No science achievement (3.5 points), social studies achievement (3.5
points), climate survey (10 points)
 Possibly other measures may not apply (ex: ELP)
 High schools will have a maximum possible 90 points
 No climate survey (10 points)
 Possibly other measures may not apply (ex: ELP) if minimum N sizes are
not met

 How will the total be calculated?
A school’s total earned percent is:
𝑻𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒔
𝑻𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒔

Total earned percents will be given percentile ranks. (Total
earned percents must be used, rather than total earned points,
so that all schools are compared on the same scale.)

 How will stars be assigned?
Total Earned Percent will be used to assign stars.
