MARYLAND—“Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) are committed to graduating students that are college and workforce ready,” according to Judith Russ, PGCPS Elementary Mathematics Supervisor. As a way to ensure that students possess the mathematics skills they’ll need, many schools are providing access to the First In Math® Online Program. “Student response has been nothing short of amazing,” says Russ. College Park’s Paint Branch Elementary is home to the NUMBER ONE FIRST IN MATH® TEAM IN THE NATION - ALL GRADES - FOR THE 2008/2009 SCHOOL YEAR. The school is also ranked fifth in the nation, followed closely by Beltsville’s Calverton Elementary in sixth place.
This year, PGCPS students and educators wanted to share their success with the rest of the First In Math® community!
