Have you seen Jr's grades?

3 of 4 St. Mary's County middle schools failed to meet federal student performance standards for adequate progress this year, tarnishing otherwise strong results at middle and elementary schools for the 3 county school systems in Southern Maryland.

What about the one middle school that made it? Which school was that and what are they doing differently?

If you'd read the link, you'd know. Margaret Brent was the only one that passed. Preptown middle and Esperanza were only 4 students short, so they failed, but not horribly, especially considering that the qualifications for passing increase every year. According to the article, Spring Ridge has failed 5 times in a row, but seems to be showing improvement.

Spring Ridge Middle School has a strong talented principal. They will make AYP next year.
