North Carolina delays release of 2012-13 test results until November
Submitted by KeungHui on 09/05/2013 - 14:12

Families in Wake County and the rest of the state will now have to wait until November to find out how low the test scores were for their children’s schools and school districts.

The State Board of Education agreed today to postpone release of the 2012-13 test results by a month to the November meeting. State Department of Public Instruction staff will present a range of options in October for different cut scores.

P[b]assing rates were expected to be low because the state changed exams with the move to Common Core standards. But just how low they can get could shock people.[/b]

For instance, this handout shows that using one set of cut scores could result in most statewide passing rates in the 30s and 40s for exams. T[b]he results are also expected to show a much wider racial achievement gap than under the old exams.[/b]
