Report: City students not on track to meet targets for reading, math

Baltimore City?s middle and high school students aren?t on track to meet federal requirements that all students reach proficiency in reading and math in six years, a new report shows.

“Academic achievement improved among Baltimore City high school students, but improved too little to close the difference between them and Maryland students as a whole, or to be on pace to achieve the [No Child Left Behind] goal by 2014,” according to a report written every five years to evaluate the effects of a 1997 reform.
