[QUOTE]Students at Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) scored higher than the state average on annual standardized tests during the 2024-2025 school year, but scores show only 57% of MCPS students are proficient in English Language Arts and 35.7% are proficient in math, according to data provided by the Maryland State Department of Education on Tuesday.

Still, MCPS students showed some improvements in reading, math and science proficiencies, according to the data.

“This is important growth for our students,” MCPS Superintendent Thomas Taylor said in a Tuesday statement. “I believe that these results show that we are turning the corner and moving in the right direction. However, we still have much work to do to get to where we need to be.”

Disparities in test scores among student demographics also continue to plague MCPS and the state, with Black and Hispanic/Latino students scoring lower than their white and Asian classmates, according to state data.[/QUOTE]

This is embarrassing. How is it that MCPS is ok with graduating students with these low levels of proficiency?[/quote]

Can they break it down by race?  This stats is meaningless for me without that. Achievement Gap has only become bigger. [/quote]

Don't you read?  The OP talks about stats by race.  The article link has more info.[/quote]
