Only 31% of MCPS students grades 3-8 are proficient in math.
A follow up survey is needed: For those who tested proficient, how many received private tutoring? I’m sure the numbers would have been worse if some families hadn’t paid for private tutoring.
Old news. This was the MCAP, a badly designed test which most don't care about.
As you can see, No school district shows proficiency not just MCPS. Highest was 38%.
You don’t like the data so in typical MCPS fashion, you blame the test instead of accepting there’s a serious problem.
The MCAP has been around for over a decade. If it’s a bad assessment, there’s been time to give the state department that feedback to design a better test.
The test is measuring on grade level standards, skills that all students within a grade should have mastered. You really think it’s ok that 69% of students assessed are not proficient with on grade level math skills on a non-MCPS test? So sad that’s the attitude from MCPS Central Office as well.
You have to admit that there’s a problem before you can develop a plan to fix it.
