What is an accountability system?  

Maryland’s accountability system describes school and local school system performance. It provides information to educators, families, and the public about each school and paves the way for improvement. Through a strong accountability system, stakeholders gain an understanding of how schools are doing and where support is needed in order for those schools to perform better.
