(Rockville, MD) — Montgomery County middle schoolers performed poorly on state standardized tests this year. Of the county’s 38 middle schools, 12 failed to meet “No Child Left Behind” targets. That’s compared to five schools that missed their marks last year. Special education students and low-income students faired the worst. School leaders say a new “modified” test for special-needs children played a role in declining test scores.
