[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Running the numbers at the VA DOE SOL Score site:

There were 1,680 7th graders who took Algebra 1, 1,158 passed advanced, 514 passed, and 8 failed the SOL. Centers are bolded. Center schools will pull students from base MS whihc will explain why some base schools have a lot fewer kids in Algebra 1, particularly those feeding Carson, Longfellow, Frost, Kimer, and Cooper.

The fact that the vast majority pass advanced or passed implies the existing cutoffs do a good job identifying kids who will do well.[/quote]
Or it just implies that SOLs are a very poor measure of mathematical understanding.[/quote]
