[quote=Anonymous]Ok, someone in the know please help me interpret this (my child has not yet taken SOL tests in FCPS). One thing I noticed in looking at the data, is that in 2022-23 compared to 2018-19 the counts (# of test takers) are way down and it varies by group. I don't know if this reflects actual demographic changes or what, but it's weird.  For example, at Langley, the count of Asian test takers drops by around 12% from 2018/19 to 2022/23 but for White it drops by 43%! No wonder their pass advanced rates overall didn't drop too much at Langley!  (As expected, Asians show higher pass advanced rates in all the schools.)  For TJ, the change in counts does not favor the school (unlike the other schools): the counts for math and science drop by  53% for Asians whereas the counts for White test takers drop by 40%. If there is selective opting out of the SOL tests (or some other manipulation), there's really no way to interpret the changes (or rankings for that matter). Why would there be much fewer test takers in 22-23 and why would it vary by group (like White vs Asian)? [/quote]
