[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2024 only 42% students passed Algebra MCAP.

While I agree that there are some issues with the MCAP test and overall passing rate of MCAP, if you look at the W schools, most of them have over 60% proficiency rates in the math state tests.

For example, Whitman 79.5%:

Churchill 75.8%:
https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/ReportCards/ReportCardSchool/1/H/1/15/0602/0

Walter Johnson 65%:
https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/ReportCards/ReportCardSchool/1/H/1/15/0424/0

So the question/issue is if you are okay that your kid is just getting by or just matching the overall trend, "Well the test has a high failure rate, so it's okay that my child didn't do okay in it."  Or should it be looked at as, "well other kids are able to pass it.  What needs to be done to have my kids be able to be raised to that level?"

Overall, I don't think it's a big deal if a student fails the MCAP test as long as they're doing okay in the class.  But there is the question if they're really getting and understanding the concepts of the class.
