Math sequence in DCPS

[Anonymous]

According to DCPS, in SY 22-23, 260 kids at J-R took the Calc BC exam and 221 (85%) scored a 1 or 2. I am sure many of those 221 went to Deal, and most were not in 10th grade either.

Link? I wasn’t aware DCPS published AP data by exam and school.

You are misreading that chart and honestly the data is wrong. 260 kids in DCPS took the BC exam and it says only 39 passed. Walls alone had close to 39 kids pass that year so there is no way JR didn’t have a bunch of kids do so as well.

Those numbers are wrong for 2022-2023 (I think this was discussed in an earlier thread). The years before that have a more typical number (90ish with 75 scoring 3, 4, or 5).

I'm not sure acceleration at Deal is uniformly bad. Several 10th graders in the Calc BC class at JR last year scored a 5 in the exam and many of them were at Deal.

I’m a PP who chose not to do the BC-in-10th path for my kid, and I agree. I didn’t decide against my kid double-blocking in 7th because I didn’t believe the kids are successful at learning the math. I just think it’s pointless, especially when math at JR tops out at BC.

Where is it? The public DCPS data is aggregated is aggregated to the school level.

You can download detailed PARCC data spreadsheets from OSSE's website.

The 22-23 dataset is wrong -- if you look at the numbers for Biology, it only lists 29 kids taking AP Bio exam. However, for all other years, the number is closer to 150. Also, only 2 kids apparently took AP Art studio and drawing while that number has been steady in the mid-30s for the past few years. So I think they messed typing up something and the record is probably correct when you get to Chinese. So it seems that 99 kids took BC in 22-23 and 74 scored above 3. There is no way that more kids took BC compared to AB.

You mean 74 scored 3 or above and 25 scored 1 and 2.
