Summary

Maryland’s education system is in a testing whirlwind—swapping out standardized exams every few years, from MSA to PARCC to MCAP, and soon MSTAR. This chaos makes it nearly impossible to track real academic progress over time, especially as billions in funding hinge on those results. While Superintendent Dr. Carey Wright admits the constant changes undermine reliability, Mississippi’s steady approach since 2015—with consistent tests and rising national rankings—offers a stark contrast. Maryland’s leaders hope MSTAR will finally bring the stability they need, but the clock is ticking and the stakes are high.
