Stagnant Middle School Reading Scores Spur ActionEducators in Maryland and Virginia are starting to target literacy programs at adolescents after years of focusing mostly on younger children. The recent leveling off or drop in middle school reading scores in both states has caught the attention of district officials, who have begun addressing the issue with a greater sense of urgency. Montgomery County will expand literacy programs in 14 middle schools this year and Baltimore, which has the state's lowest performing system, has announced plans to replace 11 of 23 middle school principals and spend $6 million to improve those schools.
