[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question then- if my child is an A student in MS HR and scores between 400-500 which they claim is "proficient" then why would they get a B added to their grade? Are parents now supposed to make sure we get outside tutoring for our child to take a standardized test based on material a teacher (every teacher is different) taught my child so they can get above a 500 (which they claim is advanced)....I get the premises of the test but I don't agree with it being part of your permanent grade now.

OP here, this is what I would like to ask someone in Gatehouse. I have an A student who gets Pass-Proficient on SOLs. If the SOL is 10% of the final grade, this will likely bring my students A down to an A- or B.  I have heard that they are changing the grading mechanism for the SOL too (so that it might be out of 100 instead of 600), but I would have the same concern.[/quote]

Same. I have a kid who gets As or A-s but has never gotten a pass advanced except one English year. Always Pass proficient. [/quote]
