[quote=Anonymous]The rating for our neighborhood elementary school suddenly took a nosedive this year from a 7 to a 4. Presumably this is because the test scores also had a sudden and dramatic drop (particularly in math). For example, the SOL pass rate for Grade 3 math was 91% in 2011 and 42% in 2012. For Grade 5 the pass rates went from 98% to 66%. I'm not aware of any redistricting in the past year that would substantially change the demographics. We're relatively new to the neighborhood and our kids are still too young for school so I don't know any parents that I could ask. What could be going on? We have another few years before DD starts kindergarten but I'll admit that I'm a little concerned. Anyone out there with knowledge of this situation? Any hypotheses?
