[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another look at MCAP results from another source: https://wtop.com/maryland/2024/08/maryland-test-results-show-small-gains-nagging-achievement-gaps-among-demographic-groups/

MCPS claims we're beating state averages, which I guess might be true, but when you roll up all the grade levels and the results, here's how things shake out by Math:

Carroll, Worcester and Howard County Public Schools outperformed MCPS in math.

For ELA, it's worse. Harford, Queen Anne's, Frederick, Calvert, Howard, Carroll, Worcester all outperformed MCPS in ELA.[/quote]

Are there any policies or procedures that the more successful school systems are following that we should consider following? [/quote]
Which successful school systems are you talking about? Because I don't see any successful school system from these results. [/quote]

Worcester’s 70% ELA proficiency is good, but yeah — no one is doing well with math. [/quote]
Worcester has about 7,000 students total.  Therefore maybe 100 to 200 students at most take MCAP. That helps keep your average higher. [/quote]

No matter how many students a school system has taking the test, wouldn't each school system have approximately the same student to teacher ratio? I don't know how having a much smaller test sample change the pass rate unless there were a significantly greater ratio of people to help them.
