Montgomery County Kindergarten Readiness Data

The Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA) is a developmentally appropriate assessment tool administered to incoming public-school kindergarteners during the first weeks of school. The KRA determines if students have the knowledge, skills, and behaviors necessary to be successful in kindergarten.

In the 2023-24 school year, Montgomery County administered the KRA using a Census-based administration of all kindergarteners by their teachers, joining all other jurisdictions in Maryland. Historically, Montgomery County used a random sample approach. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is no KRA data for the 2020-21 school year.
