[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The data also relies on all different tests and all different proficiency metrics and then compares them across all states as though they are equivalent. We all know that when PARCC was widely used, DC set the proficiency mark as a 4, whereas most states set it as a 3. This, comparatively, makes DC look far less proficient, but is completely misleading. This data has way too many problems to be useful.[/quote]

This. The minimum score to be considered proficient in Virginia would fail in DC or Maryland. Ohio also has one of the easier tests, and the group that produced these comparisons highlights the success of certain Ohio schools. Well, when its easier to pass, it's easier to excel.

If you want to see how state standards compare, NAEP has this handy tool. It only compares 4th and 8th grade, reading and math. But it does give a general outline as to which states require a higher standard to be considered proficient. https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/studies/statemappingtool/#/subject-grade[/quote]

My impression from moving from DCPS to FCPS is that the Virginia SOLs are easier than the PARCC. [/quote]
