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.

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

Pathetic.

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.

My kid scored 240+/250 on both last year. They said it was super easy.

One group is concerned about the test itself because it was so new and untested. The other is just the same old posters looking to find fault with MCPS.

Every school district around the state performs horribly in that test because it is a horrible test.
