Mind. Blown.
This is for everyone, or just those struggling. Stop blaming Covid. Kids have been in person two years now.
Blaming Covid? Get over yourself and accept that there was a learning impact from it. (Not yet) two years of in-person hasn't completely overcome the loss across the student population.
Not just for those struggling? Try getting that tutoring set up for enrichment -- something more than is offered in the curriculum for your kid's grade. At best you'll get varying acceptance across the school admins that need to approve. More likely you'll get a "that's not what this is for" reply. Sure, anyone can access it, but if it largely is constrained to that in which a student already is demonstrating mastery, what's the point?
I'm not saying having this isn't a good thing. Just that it isn't comparable to that accessible by high-SES families. A read-between-the-lines, there, with the nod to test scores is not to abolish those privately-accessed resources, but to make sure MCPS recognizes the continued dichotomy and adjusts policies accordingly. Like not relying on exposure-based test scores when determining suitability for enriched programming.

Are you getting some tutoring for writing?
