Effort

FY 2007 Index

1. Education effort is calculated by dividing local education appropriation by local wealth and indexing to State average.

2. Local education appropriations reflect actual numbers reported to MSDE by the LEAs in their Annual Budget reports in accordance with Appendix B of the Financial Reporting Manual, Maryland Public Schools. The appropriations include monies received out of funds set aside for school purposes, but do not include funds received by the LEA from other sources, such as gifts and bequests or funds generated by the LEA through rental of LEA facilities, user fees, tuition, earnings from investments, loans, debt proceeds, or sale of assets.

3. Local wealth is the amount used in the Foundation formula (Section 5‑202 of the Education Article) and includes county assessable base for fiscal year 2007 (July 1, 2006) and net taxable income for tax year 2005 (September 1, 2006).

Maryland is #1 in the country in improving Advanced Placement (AP) performance, and #2 in AP performance overall. Maryland is second only to New York in the percentage of graduating seniors who have taken and passed at least one AP exam. Maryland also leads the nation in improving the number of exams scored 3 ‑ 5 over the last six years (2000 ‑ 2006).

Maryland is #2 nationwide in the number of AP exams taken per 1,000 11th and 12th graders, and #3 in increasing the number of exams taken over 2005. AP participation is up among minorities as well. The number of African‑American students taking the AP exam has more than doubled in just four years.

Maryland’s SAT scores rank #1 in the College Board’s Middle States region, and #5 among states with a 70% or higher test‑participation rate.

Maryland is #1 in the nation in providing supplemental educational services. In Maryland, 69 percent of students eligible for no‑cost services such as tutoring and after‑school programs receive them. The national participation rate is only 19 percent.

Maryland is among the top 7 states in preparing students for college. The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education gives Maryland an A‑ in college preparation, a grade bested by just three other states; an A in college participation; a B in college completion; and an A in the economic and societal benefits of having a highly educated population.

Maryland ranks #3 in the US for the number of nationally accredited family child care providers, and #3 in child care standards and oversight. Last year, Maryland sponsored the country’s most family child care providers to earn national accreditation.

Maryland ranks #5 in the US in children’s chances for adult success. Indicators used in the Education Week report include family income; parent education, employment, and English fluency; preschool and kindergarten enrollment; elementary school reading and middle school math scores; high school graduation rate; post‑secondary participation; educational attainment; annual income; and steady employment.

The DC and Baltimore metro area ranks #1 and #3, respectively, for the best public secondary school systems among those enrolling 250,000+ students. Expansion Management magazine annually publishes its “Education Quotient,” ranking 2,800 secondary school districts nationwide. (The DC metro area includes suburban Maryland schools.)

For the second consecutive year, the Maryland State Department of Education ranked in the top 5 in the country for increasing the number of children participating in Summer Nutrition Programs from 2005 to 2006.
