There is no solution. If you're a concerned parent, be in a W or BCC pyramid because the problem isn't even remotely evenly spread throughout the county

Can you provide a link to cluster-specific numbers?

have at it https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/

Nope. "The most recently available Report Card is for the school year 2018-2019."

Do you really think the schools filled with the children of wealthy educated parents where nearly every child was proficient have somehow equalized with the schools with high percentages of ELL and FARMs students? That report gave MoCo middle schools 42% proficiency overall in math. Pyle was 82% proficient.

So 1 in every 5 kids at Pyle aren’t proficient in math. Is that acceptable just because it’s higher than other schools?

Moreover, PP seems to be comparing pre-pandemic Pyle numbers to pandemic-era MCPS numbers. Those are not comparable statistics at all.

Is that from the recent report?

This abysmal data doesn’t apply to the dcum community as most students here get enrichment outside of school and everyone scores in the 99th percentile!

Right. They all pay for enrichment and then have the audacity to criticize parents who decide to just pay for private school. What hypocrites.

No it’s not. That PP is being very disingenuous.

If a W school gets low scores, the explanation you'll read about on DCUM is that most students were intentionally blowing off the MCAP as some sort of rebellious act.

While it's not great, this represents a recovery from even worse numbers due to the pandemic. So context matters.

No, context doesn’t matter, those scores are abysmal, period. It’s shameful how quickly people excuse stuff like this.

What? Of course it matters. How much improvement do you expect to see from historic lows in a single year?

Now we definitely need to aggressively work to continue improving on those numbers, but knowing the hole that we're digging out of absolutely matters.

Furthermore, I'd like to point out that the state average is lower than MCPS's, so while MCPS isn't stellar, the rest of the state is in worse shape.

Ah ok, so because MCPS is better than even more abysmal results statewide, we can brush it off. What a crock.

Nowhere in my reply did I brush anything off. You're a malignant troll.

You’re making excuses for it. Pandemic or not, it’s abysmal. Call me a troll if you want; it won’t change the facts.

Much like SRO debate, MCPS doesn't want to publish this data because it makes certain groups look badly.
