ACPS Accredited with Conditions Schools and Implications for Students

Anonymous
I just saw the DOE score for my supposedly "high performing school" (high SES neighborhood with kids from a neighboring community housing development). The scores indicated "accredited with conditions". Do you think this is based on the number of students living in poverty with other issues that impact testing and the students who are still recovering from the pandemic (everyone)? Do you even care? I felt like the school put so much emphasis on test taking. My elementary students had folders with goals for their scores, despite getting in the highest bracket. They had so much anxiety about the tests I almost wanted to opt out but I know my students' scores help the school (local). What are the implications for students who attend an accredited school with conditions? Is this simply a reflection of SES and other social and economic challenges? Should I be concerned about the quality of education my students are receiving? FWIW, both of my students received near perfect scores on the SOLs and MAP.

Yes its because they shoehorned the projects where there are constant shootings into the maury boundaries because otherwise jefferson houston would be a complete failure and be taken over by the state. Yes you should be very concerned about the quality of education your kids are receiving. Acps is an absolute joke

What exactly are the conditions that come with this designation?

It’s par for the course in ACPS.
