PARCC/MARYLAND STATE ASSESSMENT RESULTS - HUGE GAINS FOR HHA STUDENTS!
Hampstead Hill Academy students outperformed their peers in
Baltimore City Public Schools and the State as a whole. In reading, 52% of HHA students passed, 42% of students in Maryland passed, and 18% of students in City Schools passed. In math, 42% of HHA students passed, 31% of students in Maryland passed, and 14% of students in City Schools passed. HHA’s performance on PARCC puts them first in the city for the second year in a row in 3-5 reading among African-American students. HHA is number two of 124 elementary schools (3-5) in reading and math among economically disadvantaged students. HHA are number one of 94 middle schools (6-8) in reading and math for economically disadvantaged students. For English Language Learners, HHA ranks fourth out of 124 elementary schools in reading and math and second out of 94 middle schools in reading and math. We are proud of the performance of all of our students and recognize that the gap in performance between our highest performing and lowest performing student groups is persistently wide. Staff at HHA are forming a Data and Equity subcommittee of the School Family Council this fall to analyze the performance of all student groups, the composition of students identified as gifted or advanced, and make recommendations to better support the high academic performance of all HHA students.
