Maryland State Department of Education Releases 2025-2026 School Report Cards

October 29th, 2026

The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) today released its 2025-2026 Maryland School Report Card, containing data about all schools in the Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) and across the state of Maryland.

School report cards are based on multiple indicators, including non-academic measures. Elementary and middle school indicators are: Academic Achievement, Academic Progress, Progress in Achieving English Language Proficiency, and School Quality and Student Success.

High school indicators are: Academic Achievement, Graduation Rate, Progress in Achieving English Language Proficiency, Readiness for Postsecondary Success, and School Quality and Student Success. Schools earn between one and five stars based on the percentage of points earned across indicators.

HCPSS educators leverage the data provided in the reports to inform instruction and school
improvement plans and identify the supports needed to help students thrive in the classroom.

Countywide and individual school reports are posted on the Maryland Report Card website.
