Students who participated in the grade _ Maryland Integrated Science Assessment (MISA) last school year are receiving home reports next week. MISA is Maryland’s new Next Generation Science Standards(NGSS) aligned assessment. MISA replaced the MSA Science test in all Maryland schools and was phased in beginning in 2017. Results are being reported late due to the process of setting performance levels. Students participate in the MISA in grades 5, 8 and 11. More information on the MISA can be found at http://mdk12.msde.maryland.gov/assessments/k_8/index.html
