Best Middle Schools in Maryland for Military Connected Students

Check out our new feature available only on SchoolDigger: rankings for different groups of students in Maryland!

Every year, the Maryland State Department of Education shares test results for various student groups in each school. We use these results to find out which schools do best for each group and list them from the best to the worst.

Additionally, we also compare the performance of the subgroup to the performance of the school as a whole. This makes it easy to see if, for example, Military Connected students are overperforming or underperforming their peers in each school.

The list is updated annually upon the release of the MCAP (shortened) test scores by the Maryland State Department of Education. The most recent update was on Wednesday, August 28, 2024.
