[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not impressed by the bell curve either because what it takes to get a 3, 4, or 5 is terrifyingly low.

Its measuring grade level proficiency not performance or academic achievement. A school with a 4 and a 66% means that [b]44%[/b] of the school is not measuring in at grade level proficiency. A 3 requires just over half of your school passing which conversely means that almost half of the rest of school is failing. [/quote]

Sounds like someone had that 2.0 math in school.[/quote]

PP is not exactly right.  I’ve only really looked at the elementary school methodology, but if the school’s average PARCC student score is 4, then they get 4/5 points - 80%.  Every single kid at that school could be proficient (4 is proficient on PARCC), and the school would still only score 80%, not 100%, in that category.  I think that’s why 75% of all points is 5 stars.  Because getting 100% of the points is designed to be impossible.  [/quote]

OMG 66 + 44 = 110[/quote]
