[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 4th grader scored a 550 this year. She didn't even hit 500 last year. I'm a HS teacher and my 11th graders are all passing. Which is unusual at my school [/quote]

I have a high school kid who took it this year and got their first pass advanced on English, I think ever.  It was a high pass advanced, over 550.  They also got over a 700 on the May SAT in Verbal, which is unheard of.

My kid was SO behind in writing and language arts from covid, like so many others.  Those transition years where my other kids switched from writing and analyzing texts like kids to writing and analyzing texts like young adults were all a complete bust, due to the wasted years of covid school and the aftermath.

From my observation, the teachers at the high schools (and probably MS snd elementary) have been busting a$$ the past couple of years to try to catch up the behind students and backfill the numerous holes left from covid school.  I know my kid's high school teachers, especially the English and Math teachers, have been making a superhuman effort with kids like mine, who were so woefully behind from missing those 2 critical years of writing instruction, 3 if you include the feral tiktok year back to school.  I feel like the hard work of the teachers to right the ship is finally starting to yield fruit, at least with my kid, and the improvement is showing in the test scores.[/quote]

My kid felt none of this.  Not even the “feral” year so I’m not sure blaming COVID is right.  
It probably has more to do with phone banning in schools than anything else.[/quote]
