[quote=Anonymous]“Using data available from MCSP the performance and achievement of MCPS high school students will be examined for differences between students attending high, medium or low poverty schools. Six high schools will be selected for examination, two for each of the three poverty categories. Primary focus will be to compare the performance and achievement of minority students and students receiving Free and Reduced Meals (FARMS) between the three poverty levels.”
“Table 12 displays the Maryland High School Assessment Performance Status results for academic year 2012. Algebra, Biology and English scores were aggregated for each of the six study schools for Black, Hispanic and FARMS students. The students at the two low-poverty schools, Churchill and Whitman, did not obtain scores higher than the moderate and high-poverty schools in every category. Churchill’s FARMS score was actually the lowest while the same was true for Whitman’s Black score. Whitman did not report FARMS scores because of the <= 5% regulation.”
