At the high poverty schools. I would bet the groups struggling are poor Black and Hispanic kids with little support at home. |

And, this people, is why they want to redraw the boundaries. It hides the problem rather than fixes it. |

I agree that’s why they wanted to redraw the boundaries originally, to hide some problems. But that’s not what ended up happening because the loudest, most connected community groups shut it down for the most part so they just ended up with a bunch of “edge moves” no one asked for anyway. |

Do I read correctly that bc dropped down to 15 students in a grouping v 30, FCPS less able to distort results with more students to include in its averages? |

And what exactly will be the result of this designation? Are they actually going to GET the "intensive support" that they need? Or is this rating just another way to dump on our poorest schools? It shouldn't come as any surprise that the most vulnerable populations need "intensive support" to keep up with their peers. If this designation puts them in line for additional resources, I'm all for it. If it's just another label so that the more well-to-do families can avoid them, well.... Fwiw, I'm a relatively high earner but kept my kids in our local Title 1 elementary school, which is labeled Off Track in this report, because we love the community and the school. The admin and teachers are top notch, but of course there is a large segment of the school population that needs real help. Labeling the school to scare people off doesn't help, but some additional resources really would. |

| How come all of ACPS and all of PWCPS at the HS level is "accredited with conditions" even if some of the schools come in as on track or even distinguished? Alexandria City HS comes in as accredited with conditions and on track with a rating of 82.8, how can they be on track and have a decent rating but only "accredited with conditions?" |

So does Reid share what kind of change this is? Would last year have been only say 10 schools making an off track or lower chart? Or is her point the off tracks are no different from last year and the need support schools should be ignored and considered passing since last year would have been considered passing. Anyone know? |
