Yes, those changes are projected for sometime around 2025 and I would expect them to be phased in. I don't think anything will change next year or even until then. But that is my speculation.

FCPS has no plan. Other districts have plans that start the phase-in as early as 2 years, I think.

To be fair, this is probably the case in a non-pandemic year too. Kids at the less competitive centers with lower income populations are much less likely to be doing outside tutoring no matter what.

Yes but in previous years they didn’t have a large chunk of instructional time deleted from the school year, miss 1/3rd of last year, and have nearly a year of virtual garbage.

Understood, but until someone posts the previous years' pass rates compared to this year's, broken down by school, it's speculation to say that there are fewer kids passing than in previous years.

Speculation but probably a good hunch !

I had letter in the mail for my 6th grader, it was about immunization requirements before 7th grade.

Ugh that would suck LOL. I feel like I already got that already. We'll see.

I'm the poster who said the letters were given to the kids at Chesterbrook. To be fair, the letters were stapled so that you couldn't see the score, they were addressed to the parent, and they were distributed at the end of the school day. However, I agree after reading the postings that all letters from the county should be mailed home directly. Also, I do feel that the kids are old enough to know and understand what their scores mean.

Our kid's scores came in the mail today - Louise Archer ES.

My child scored in the 98th percentile, which was kind of a shock to us as they're not a math genius. I had planned on their taking Math 7H next year and Algebra in 8th, but I guess we'll see what the SOL score looks like.

Same. And my kid's best friends were 97%, 98% and also 99%. Isn't that odd?

I can understand looking forward to finding out about AAP but what difference does this test make? so what if your kid takes algebra in 8th grade?

I am one of the PP’s. I spoke with 3 friends. One got 98%, and the other two got above 91 but I don’t know the exact percentiles. So I guess our center school arguably did a good job preparing the kids for it. I honestly have no idea what was on the test or how it was scored.
