[quote=Anonymous]lol in some circles, MCPS had a reputation of only caring about it's numbers.  From what I saw, I believe it but thought that mentality went away a couple of superintendents ago.

I'm pretty sure the Algebra MCAP is just a having to take the test requirement for the near future.  Just the fact that if your child passed the Algebra course in private school, they should have been exempt from having to take the test and that status should override any test score they have, which shouldn't matter either way.

I hope MCPS schools aren't trying to boost their CCR numbers because that's the new thing now.  But in this case it sounds like they are.

I would confirm on where ever they list graduation requirements, that your child is marked as meeting the Algebra graduation requirements.  As mentioned, they should be counted as having met it based on passing the course in private school or just based on taking the MCAP test.

As long as they're marked as meeting it, I think it's up to you on how much you want to push back on the retest.  Keeping in mind that I'm not up to date with what MCPS is doing and if they somehow tied this into graduation requirements, which I wouldn't think they would.[/quote]
