This spring, students across Maryland are taking the PARCC state assessments, and school officials are hoping the results are better than in the past two years.
The PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) will be administered sometime between April 3 and June 9. Schools are given the leeway to administer the test anytime during that window.
A growing number of schools and youth programs in Maryland have embraced the idea that spending a few minutes on mindfulness meditation can help students succeed both in and out of the classroom.
South River High School sophomore James Sappington and Severna Park High School senior William Snyder shared the grand award at the 50th annual Anne Arundel County Regional Science and Engineering Fair and will represent Anne Arundel County Public Schools at the International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) in Los Angeles in May.
Last year more than 1.6 million high school students took the SAT, and many hope tutoring will boost their score. But the question is, what type of tutoring is best and is it affordable?
Does your child need a tutor? This is a question many parents wonder about, and statistics show that more than ever are answering, “yes.”
