Pass/Advanced rates for 2012 SOL's

[Anonymous]

If anyone finds FCPS "pass/advanced" percentiles for SOL's (ie what %of kids in each grade at each school scored pass/advanced) - pls post here.
(Thanks to the poster in another thread who gave the chart of pass percentiles from VDOE.)

Thanks!

Same here. I am only guessing, but I think the pass advanced data may be posted in September on the FCPS school profile section.

Pass advanced percentages are now posted in the School Report Card portion of the Virginia Department of Education website:

If there is a significant deviation in scores for one grade/subject (by deviation, I mean from the state/county averages), do you want to know what the reason is? And how would you go about asking WTF happened????

Math scores for our school's 5th grade were REALLY bad -- like 20 percentage points lower than the county average and the state average. This is not a case of the math tests being harder because that would be reflected by the state/county averages being lower. My school's 5th grade scores are typically at or just a little above the county average. So, the only explanation I can think of is that whoever was in charge of math curriculum REALLY screwed up and failed to cover what the rest of the county/state covered. A neighboring school with nearly identical demographics had scores that were significantly higher that state/county averages. So, I feel like someone needs to explain what the heck went wrong.

But how does one ask that?

I read the information as Advanced + Proficient = Pass

So something like this:

Adv Prof Pass Fail
24 58 82 18


24 + 58 = 82% of the kids passed
