As if we needed more depressing news about DCPS in one day. I will say at least the test are free of charge.

For as much as people fall over themselves about getting into a feeder for Wilson, I expected higher.

Not really. City taxes cover the cost.

How could 25% of students at SWW fail to pass even one AP exam with a 3 or higher?

For example, AP Eng Lang is a required course and test for all 11th graders at SWW. AP World and AP US History courses are also required at SWW. Perhaps a quarter of those kids are not a good fit for those courses?

Then shouldn’t they fail the class too?

WOW. The achievement gap is really evident in these scores and depressing.

I'm highly disappointed in Wilson's AP passing rate. I'm curios why DCPS didn't break down the pass rates by FARMS, Race, ESOL, and other demographics.

Do you could feel better about the scores of your child’s demographic?

They did break down by race and gender for AP scores but not SAT. White students at Wilson did well scoring 3,4 or 5 on AP tests.

I found the AP pass rates for Montgomery County schools and am trying to compare them to Wilson, SWW and Banneker. But this link is from 2015. Does anyone know how i can get the scores from last year? Google is not pulling it up.

^^ I should say white students across DCPS. Does not break it out by school.
