[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I came to this forum curious about MCPS math and this very germane thread happened to be at the top.

We transferred to an affluent town in the south, mostly populated by coastal transplants. The math has been a shock for my kids-- despite being in compacted/accelerated math in MCPS. It's just much more rigorous here.

[b]I read the article and it appears MCPS has been sliding since 2013 and the pandemic accelerated what was already occurring[/b]. This is illuminating for me.  In the MCPS bubble, it always sounded like they were getting a great education, and now that Im outside of it, I realize it was a mirage. Hopefully people demand better.   [/quote]
It is not MCPS. It's the state of MD.
It seems like most people commenting in this thread have no idea what the NAEP test is about. They test about 2000 students, mostly and generally in the Baltimore area for MD.
Ask your MCPS kids and teachers when was the last time they took the NAEP test. Most students and parents never heard of it.[/quote]

I’ve been very confused about what data they’re using for MD, but I haven’t been able to find that information anywhere. It just seemed odd that the website didn’t include MCPS in their breakdown of the larger school districts. But it also seems pretty mindboggling that they could base an entire state’s assessment on such a small sample.

Can you point me to your source for this? I’m not doubting you, I’d just like to see for myself and have something to point others to. [/quote]
