[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What data or report are you looking at?

https://www.marylandpublicschools.org/stateboard/Documents/2022/0823/StandardSettingProgressOverviewStateAssessmentsTimelineUpdateSpring2022ResultsV2.pdf is a report from this summer about status of transition rom PARCC to MCAP and it say that standard setting is still ongoing for science (MISA) and social studies, and will utilize 2022-23 school year data.

Also, consider that 8th graders last spring started middle school in 6th grade with a normal 2.5 quarters, asynchronous end of 6th, virtual 7th, and then a return to a weird in-person 8th grade, at the end of which they are tested on 3 years worth of middle school science. I wouldn’t expect any kid to actually be exceeding expectations under those circumstances (but I don’t think they had a benchmark set).[/quote]

Sounds like the report that gets sent home.  We got one of these last year for Algebra and the results were also pretty abysmal.  Doubt we’ll hear much about this from MCPS.  [/quote]

Wait, what?  No ‘all the schools are great’: the curriculum is working: MCPS is a top school district.  Or my favorite when abysmal results come out at the state level for Maryland: but that’s Baltimore or those results don’t include MCPS.  Ah, but they do - and you get to pay 3 billion a year for these results.  The majority of children are being denied their right to an education (many of them Special Education children) in this district.  Utter disgrace.[/quote]
