Examining more data from the State Dept of Education website and saw some remarkable new information. All data is taken via downloads from www.mdreportcard.org And finally I took a look at the length of the Instructional Day. (See previous posts Part 1 and Part 2) Again MCPS ranked poorly compared to other Maryland school systems. MCPS has an approximately 3/4 of an hour per day shorter school day then the four districts with the longest school day. That is the equivalent of aproximately 20 additonal school days over the course of the 175 day school year.
