Why does DCPS rank 49th in the country, behind poor states like Kentucky, Tennessee and WV?

Unfortunately I don’t think so. No tracking , low standards, and social promotion is a race to the bottom. Many kids graduate who can’t do multiplication or read more than 3-4th grade level.

Looking at PARCC scores where basically no one in a number of high schools is on grade level in math is just shocking.

To add to this point, PARCC is a watered-down set of standards compared to other states.

Source? Because that is emphatically not true. Parcc tests writing better than the tests used in Maryland, for example.
