Duran drew conclusions and reported them to the school board. APS has said over and over again that MAP tests provide a lot of solid data. SOL scores, even recalibrated to fluff them, are also way down over pre-pandemic scores. You have to look at the big picture. APS SOL scores aren't good either. |
| Pointless to argue with this clown. I’m very anti-voucher. But I also choose to live in reality. It’s possible to be both. |
Sorry to disrupt your narrative with facts and questions. |
Questions are fine, but you’re choosing to ignore the facts that others — including the VDOE — provided. But, whatever, enjoy having your head in the sand. |
What facts did the VDOE provide? Op-eds from disgruntled RWNJs don’t count. |

I don't know the details of NWEA testing norms or if the conditions changed, but here are the math RIT scores starting last year for my kid:
215, 222, 225, 221, 225 It's sure looks like he hasn't learned much new material over the last year and a half. |
Go look at their website, lazy pants. |
I did. They say that APS SOL scores have been rising every year since the pandemic. Need me to link that for you again? |

“Proficiency cut scores were lowered between the 2018-2019 and 2020-2021 test administration. These lowered cut scores enabled students to pass that would not have otherwise received a passing score.”
Per VDOE. |
| So yes, there may be modest increases since the change, but the fact is, many students are scoring in the ranges that would’ve been considered failing just a few years ago. |
