The High School Assessments are end-of-course tests in
English, algebra, biology, and government. While the HSAs
are more challenging than the old Maryland Functional Tests,
they are still minimum skills tests. The HSAs are not college-
level or even college-prep tests. For the most part, they are
tenth-grade-level tests.

ISP Flea Market
The ISP fleamarket is held every Saturday (weather permitting) during the months of March - December.
Reservations for new vendors are taken on site only, on the first Saturday of each month from 7am-10am.
There are NO one day or week by week spaces provided. Only monthly reservations are available and the cost is $60 (cash) per space.
Very few spaces become available each month, as vendors usually renew their space.
However, if a space is available, you will be assigned a space after payment is made and will keep that space throughout the month,
whether you show up or not. Tables are not provided-just the space.
On the last Saturday of the month, vendors will be given the opportunity to renew their reservations for the following month
at the same rate of $60 per month. If they do not renew, the space will be opened up to new vendors. Hours of operation are 8am - 4pm.
No food or beverages, weapons or illegal items are permitted to sell.
