The Maryland Accountability Testing Program Annual Report is a reference document on basic skills test data for grade levels three, five, and eight. The average grade equivalent scores on the California Achievement Tests (CAT) for all three grade levels in reading comprehension, language, and mathematics for the school year 1983-1984 are included. The major findings from analyses of the statewide results indicate that participating Maryland pupils in the fall of 1983 scored in excess of the 1976 norm sample for these grades. In addition to detailed tables of the test results by school, district, and state, this report includes: (1) a definition of educational accountability and an introduction to the Maryland Educational Accountability Program; (2) the State Board of Education's Resolution on Assessment Program; (3) Maryland prerequisites for high school graduation; and (4) a description of the assessment instruments used to measure academic achievement.
