[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Graduation rates are going to plummet, no matter what, in three years.

In the 2019-2020 school year, the pass score on the PARCC exams (a few are required for a MD diploma) will be raised from a 3 to a 4 by the MD State Board of Education.

Right now only 44% of PGCPS 10th graders scored a 4 or a 5 on the PARCC 10th grade English test.  Let's say another 20% manage to score a 4 on a retake or after intensive summer school intervention and credit recovery (funding for this coming from... I'm not sure where.)

That brings us to 64% who can pass the 10th grade English PARCC.   Leaving 36% who shouldn't receive a high school diploma at all.  Including, probably 90% of certain high schools.[/quote]

WOW! Though increasing Standards is a good thing. Hopefully the standards of the curriculum before they get to High school increases as well[/quote]

Well, instead of worrying about kids getting a D instead of an F on a course required for graduation in high school, people should worry about 4th graders being promoted to 5th grade who aren't working on grade level, aren't identified as special needs, and don't have any other special reason why they aren't performing at grade level.

The kids need summer school, after school tutoring, and other programs in order to get to where they need to be!   They are falling behind way before 10th grade when they will fail to pass the PARCC.   [/quote]
