Why not? It's taxpayers' school. Taxpayers deserve full transparency; nothing should be kept hidden. If transparency were being properly practiced, such requests wouldn't even be necessary.

I don't recall our parents ever wanting this information. Focus on your kid. You already know how well a school is doing by searching online.

Quit telling other parents what they need to do. I'm sure there are different reasons anyway. We are at an SBG school that is copying a model developed for students in danger of not graduating in FCPS (principal's own words). The salesmen that go around helping schools implement this grading system tout research that has nothing to do with kids learning more but has everything to do with Bs and Cs for everyone. As go down in certain races and Ds and Fs go up in certain races.

Given that my kids have teachers saying things like "a B or C is where they should be" at this school, I would like to know what is going on.

Ah so you are one of the grumpy Madison parents…

Stop picking on the Madison parent.



Everything should be transparent.

It's a valid question. Whatever is your point in obtaining and posting this information devoid of any context?

It's plenty transparent. You obtained the information under FOIA. That's what the law is for.

The problem with school FOIA is when you aren't a journalist or something, it's hard to do anything useful with the information.

Pre-Calculus or Calculus are not listed because they are TS. less than 10 students failed that course, you might be able to get per teacher but mostly will get TS , since about over 300 students take Geometry and Algebra 2.

What is TS? Transsexual?

If you had taken the time to actually read OP's first post you would see that it means less than 10. They probably don't give an actual figure because people would then try to deduce who the one or two people who failed were and that would present privacy issues.

And, yes, people WOULD try to do that. Because people are glassbowls.
