Flags show magnet, charter, alternative and virtual schools. Some campuses — early college and specialized academies among them — also admit by application, and this page cannot yet identify all of them. Check with the district before assuming a school is open to your address.

How to read this. Maryland suppresses results for groups with too few students tested, and reports by grade rather than by school, so many schools fall below the threshold — 868 of Maryland's schools have reportable Black student results. Coverage is grades 3–8; high schools are not included. Because every state sets its own proficiency standard, Maryland figures should not be compared against another state's.
