They include information on staff tenure, official enrollment, student demographics, attendance, suspensions, and the school survey. This profile also reports results from the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) assessments for Grades 6 through 8 as well as Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and English 1, and indicators of students' readiness for college and career, such as performance on SAT and Advanced Placement (AP) exams.

In 15-16, under the federal Community Eligibility Provision for districts in low-income areas, City Schools began providing free meals to all students without need to collect FARMs applications. In that transition year, reporting about low-income students included FARMs applications plus direct certification of homeless or foster care status, participation in programs for low-income families (e.g., SNAP, TANF), or Medicaid eligibility. For 16-17, direct certification (as of June 3 or September 3, 16) is the only methodology used. While the percentage of low-income students generally remains unchanged, this change in methodology has resulted in a reported low-income percentage approximately points lower than would be reported using FARMs forms, with variation at individual schools. 15-17 Percentage of Enrollment in Low Income Subgroup 15 FARMs 16 FARMs 16 Direct Cert 17 Direct Cert 17 Percentage of Enrollment by Subgroup EL EL SWD SWD 34.6% Non-EL Non-SWD 99.8% 65.4% Key: FARMs = free and reduced-price meals; Direct Cert = direct certification; ELL = English language learner i.e., students whose primary or home language is not English and have been assessed as having limited English proficiency; SWD = students with disabilities i.e., those who have current Individualized Education Programs.

Attendance Attendance rates are calculated by dividing the total number of days attended by the total number of days enrolled during the school year. Chronic absence rate is the percent of students who were absent more than days, among students who were enrolled for at least 9 days during the school year. Data are for the school year ending in the calendar year indicated (i.e., "17" indicates the 16-17 school year). Suspensions The number of suspensions in a school year includes all suspension incidents and expulsions.

Three separate indices were calculated that represent a combination of student, staff, and parent reports. They reflect key measures of school climate as defined by the National School Climate Center. Data are not reported when any of the three groups had 5 or fewer respondents, or if the response rates for students or staff were less than 3 percent. The Physical Security Index measures the extent to which students and staff feel safe in a school building, parents feel that their child is safe, and students fighting and bringing weapons to school is NOT a problem. The Respectful Relationships Index measures the extent to which students and staff report that there are respectful relationships among students and between students and staff at their school. The School Connectedness Index measures the extent to which students and staff feel they belong at the school, that parents feel welcome, that staff and parents work closely to meet students needs, and that the administration is responsive to parent and staff concerns. Data are for the school year ending in the calendar year indicated (i.e., "17" indicates the 16-17 school year). For detailed information, visit the City Schools website.

Depending on when students entered 9th grade and when they took certain required courses (Algebra, Biology, English, Government), students can meet their high school assessment requirements through several pathways, including sitting for (but not passing) certain tests, passing individual tests, meeting combined score criteria, and completing coursework or Bridge projects. These requirements are subject to change in coming years. For full details, please visit baltimorecityschools.org. Graduation and Dropout Rates 4- and 5-year graduation and dropout rates are based on entering cohorts of 9th-grade students. For example, the Class of 15 includes students who entered 9th grade in 11. 4-year measures include outcomes through August after the 4th year; 5-year measures include outcomes through the following June.

College and Career Readiness Research shows that participation and performance in college admissions exams, such as the SAT, and preparatory exams, such as the PSAT, are related to college- and career-readiness outcomes. This relationship was seen in the rates of enrollment in two- and four-year programs and rates of completion of college credit entry-level courses without the need for remedial courses. Data below measure all students in grades 9 to 12 in the school in the given school year. Data are for the school year ending in the calendar year indicated (i.e., "16" indicates the 15-16 school year). (Source: College Board) PSAT Performance The PSAT, typically taken by students in 9th and 1th grade, measures students skills in two academic areas important for success in college. Data are provided by the College Board. Results include students who took the PSAT in the given school year. The composite score is the sum of each student's score on the two sections of the PSAT, Math and Evidence Based Reading & Writing. Composite scores are subject to rounding.
