School Improvement in Maryland

Expanding Perspectives on High School Assessments

High School Assessments have been the focus of a number of state board meetings recently. These expanding perspectives topics update you on why we should support HSA, how students are performing on HSA, how school districts are supporting student success on HSA and whether we are on schedule for diploma-tagged HSA.

How do districts help ensure students pass the high school assessments?

"We realize that in order to have all of our students successfully complete the requirements that they are faced with today, we have to work together, we must understand each student's needs and work to address those needs…" —Judy Estepcg
