Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Literacy Academic Performance Metrics for Spring 2024

Briefing: The EC Committee will receive a presentation on literacy academic performance data from MCPS representatives. The briefing will cover data from the 2023-2024 school year about literacy education priorities and include strategies for the 2024-2025 school year. This briefing is a continuation of the committee’s July 11 meeting that discussed overall academic performance measures.

Other performance data is reported periodically throughout the year. Academic performance metrics on mathematics and special populations will be reviewed at a future committee meeting.
