These tables show metropolitan high schools' performance in the first round of state testing designed to measure students' mastery of mathematics, science, government and English. The scores show the median percentile ranking for students in each school in five subjects. If a school has a score of 59 in algebra, half its students scored above and below the 59th percentile of all Maryland students. A higher score is better than a lower score.
