Patapsco students will continue to participate in the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) over the next few weeks.  Please read the following carefully to help your student be prepared.  We want to congratulate our 6th graders who started this week and did an excellent job!

 

What is MCAP? 

The Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) provides information to educators, parents and the public on student progress towards proficiency on the Maryland College and Career Ready Standards. Through a strong assessment system, stakeholders gain an understanding of how schools are performing and where assistance can be directed to support student growth and achievement.
