Maryland State Department of Education

Welcome to MSDE

Maryland’s public education again ranked #1 in the nation in 2010 by Education Week. This adds to Maryland’s rankings by College Board as #1 in the nation for Advanced Placement performance and participation, and Newsweek as #1 in the nation for Top Public High Schools in America, respectively. We should all be truly proud for these remarkable accomplishments.
--Nancy S. Grasmick, State Superintendent of Schools
