Has anyone gotten MCAP reports from 2023 testing?

[Anonymous]

Do they pick and choose whose to send out? Let's say your kid scored below whatever they need to score, will they send out their report sooner to inform school and family?

Is it the MCAP test that is bring counted for some % of a final class grade? Or a different test?

How will this actually work do you know yet? Let's say a kid is taking Geometry and takes the MCAP Math in spring, and with results being sent out much later in the Fall when the student has already started in the next level Math class, how will the end of year test results from previous school year be factored?

You can find a lot of answers to your questions here: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/end-of-course-exams-information/

DP. Per video, plan is to get MCAP scored and results out in 9days after this year's 9th grade students take the end-of-year assessment. So why cant they get results out this quickly for MCAP taken in 2023?

Because they finally decided to enter the technology era some decades too late and have machines etc grade them? Is that the correct answer? Do I win a prize?

This is ridiculous. MCOS has had the reports since at least the fall. How hard is it to mail them out? Something fishy is going on.

They told parents their office was short staffed need more hands with the mailings. Let's blame McKnight for this too.

Why is it there job to do this? It's a state test that's known to be useless. Let the state deal with it.

The scores aren't especially meaningful. The test has issues and the scores don't reflect much of anything.

And students dont even need to pass it for graduation. This is another of their "great" ideas to add more time wasting testing, and have district offices do admin level mailings.

Students had to take the tests before too. It's just now the tests will count 20% of second semester grade in those classes.

MCPS is not holding these back because the test isn't meaningful. MCPS is holding these back because they don't want parents to know how poorly their kids performed.

This is a terrible test that the state made up and was never vetted. The scores aren't meaningful so that makes no sense.

You keep telling yourself that to justify the horrendous MCPS student performance. It will not make it true.

The results weren't all that meaningful. Until they take the time work out the bugs I wouldn't pay much attention to this. It's too bad they can't use a proven national test instead of testing this new one on our kids.

Yet they are making students take the tests and will count for 20% of their second half grade.
