Narrative Description of Indicator

On May 17, 2021, the Maryland State Department of Education was approved for a waiver from the accountability, school identification, and related reporting requirements for the 2020-2021 school year. The State Assessment administration window was extended beyond the normal administration timeline and a shortened assessment was administered in the Early Fall of the SY 21-22 for the prior school year (i.e., SY 20-21). Normal testing resumed in the spring of 2022.

Other Data for this Indicator

View Indicator 3A – Participation rate for children with IEPs:
The participation of the special education subgroup in statewide assessments exceeded the state target of 95% across all grade levels for both subject areas. Compared to FFY 2021, FFY 2022 data showed increases in the participation of students with IEPs in all reported grade levels and subject areas.

Grade Level	FFY 2022 Reading Data	FFY 2022 Math Data
4	99.04%	99.09%
8	96.14%	95.46%
High School	97.94%	96.03%

View Indicator 3B - Proficiency rate for children with IEPs against grade level academic achievement standards:

Maryland met its targets for the proficiency rate of children with IEPs against grade level academic achievement standards in all grade levels on the English assessment and on the 8th grade math assessment. The State did not meet its targets on grade 4 and high school math assessments. Compared to FFY 2021, the proficiency rate for children with IEPs on the MCAP increased in both subject areas across all reported grade levels, with the exception of high school reading which experienced a slight decrease.

Grade Level	FFY 2022 Reading Data	FFY 2022 Math Data
4	13.76%	10.01%
8	9.98%	3.67%
High School	18.39%	5.80%

View Indicator 3C - Proficiency rate for children with IEPs against alternate academic achievement standards:

Maryland did not meet any of its targets for indicator 3C in FFY 2022. Students with the most significant cognitive disabilities were most impacted by learning loss during the pandemic, as many require supports that are difficult or impossible to deliver in virtual instruction. The FFY 2020 assessment, administered in the fall of 2021 and was the basis for target setting for this indicator, does not demonstrate the full impact of these losses, because an abbreviated form of the assessment was used. The assessment utilized the instructionally embedded testlets rather than the summative assessment, which is typically used for assessment. This may have impacted student scores, as the tests are not comparable.

Grade Level	FFY 2021 Reading Data	FFY 2021 Math Data
4	5.33%	21.45%
8	15.14%	7.78%
High School	36.58%	39.37%

View Indicator 3D –Gap in proficiency rates for children with IEPs and all students against grade level academic achievement standards:

Special Education students showed gains in both subject areas across all grade levels, while general education students showed gains in all areas except 8th grade reading. The gap was narrowed and the State met its targets for high school reading and math. Despite the gains in 4th and 8th grade, the magnitude of the gains (in terms of percentage increase) for general education students were greater in 4th and 8th grade, than it was for special education students.

Grade Level	FFY 2021 Reading Data	FFY 2021 Math Data
4	34.90%	22.23%
8	36.86%	15.38%
High School	37.78%	29.03%
