13 MoCo high schools decline in state rankings

[Anonymous]

Churchill got a 74.6%, 5-star cutoff was 75%.

Lost most points on attendance, ESOL/ELL, and student/staff survey.

Do these numbers mean anything except this year's wealth distribution?

BCC and WJ are getting less wealthy.

You can’t blame COVID either, because these rankings are relative to every school in the state, and they clearly dealt with COVID too. This is specifically due to the way MoCo schools are being run.

Where does it say that these are rankings relative to the state?

Pretty good scores considering the low funding level.
Need to vastly increase funding to match the funding level that private schools get, so parents don't need to pay for private help.

The county rolls out the carpet for illegal immigration, they're all poor, and now schools qualities decline. Totally predictable. Now people with means will flee and hasten the decline of the county.

And the superintendent wants another 5% increase in budget - I guess for her salary raise and more central office managers. As a teacher, I have no confidence in the school district to turn it around.

Careful. Whitman's time will come. None of the other Ws expected their ratings to decrease.

Not surprising the schools with the least diversity were least impacted by the countt's changing demographics.

Publics are finished. You can’t maximize average kids potential without a high level of discipline which has been eliminated.

The schools are run by sloppy, slovely mental midgets

East County progressives in shambles.

Huh?

East county progressives HATE Whitman. So the fact that they still have 5 stars chafes them.

It's a bad look when people from the rich side of the county pick on people from the poor side of the county.

Takoma Park Co-op shoppers are not poor.

Yes. Strange that the feeder school, Pyle dropped. The student and staff survey ratings are quite low. I’m not sure how that factors into the ranking overall, or why that is, and I don’t get why Whitman is doing better than ever but Pyle dropped from a 5 to a 4. Given the upper middle class demographics, it should be a slam dunk easy 5.

There are not enough privates nor no land for new ones. Nor could everyone afford them. No impact on mcps.

after looking at the metrics grouped by demographic data, it seems more a function of the county is changing demographics than its leadership.

And yet, the Ws and BCC high schools decreased in performance - the wealthy west side schools' academic performances are supposed to keep the real estate prices up - that is why Woodward HAS is being built as opposed to building a more needed high school in east county to address significantly higher overcrowding there.

Oh well.
