As part of Maryland's ongoing commitment to early learning and school readiness, a comprehensive new Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA) was administered for the second time. This assessment is part of the new Ready for Kindergarten: Maryland's Early Childhood Comprehensive Assessment System (R4K) that was developed to align to the state's more rigorous PreK-12 College and Career-Ready Standards. This report shares the school readiness results of Maryland's children--statewide, by subgroups, and for each of Maryland's 24 local jurisdictions. Based on the new higher standards, the new baseline results for this year are: (1) Nearly half of entering kindergarteners in school year 2015-2016 (45%) are demonstrating that they possess the foundational skills and behaviors that prepare them for the curriculum that is based on Maryland's new more rigorous kindergarten standards; (2) 52% of females are demonstrating readiness compared with 39% of the males; (3) More than half of Asian kindergartners (52%), white kindergartners (56%), and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander kindergartners (51%) are demonstrating this new level of readiness. American Indian/Alaska Native (44%), African American (41%), and Hispanic (27%) kindergartners are below the state average of kindergarteners (45%) demonstrating readiness; (4) Kindergartners with disabilities, those learning the English Language, and those from low-income households have much fewer students demonstrating readiness than Maryland kindergartners as a whole; and (5) Children who attended child care centers (54%) and non-public nursery schools (66%) the year prior to entering kindergarten exceed the statewide readiness average.
