High schools in Bethesda, Potomac and Damascus ranked among Maryland’s highest for math aptitude, according to the Maryland State Department of Education.
As part of the annual Partnership For Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (“PARCC”) examination, Maryland public school students in grades three through eight are tested based on Common Core math standards.
The students pass if their scores either meet or exceed expectations, indicating they’re “ready for the next level” of education.
