[quote=Anonymous]From 1995 to 2023, standardized test scores in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) had an undeniable decline, with overall scores dropping approximately 10-15 percentage points in key subjects like math and reading. Specific percentages can vary by grade level and assessment. More concerning is how the decline has accelerated in the past five years. Why is this happening? -Changing Demographics - families are on average poorer and less educated. This means schools now must do more -rapid growth - the size of FCPS has increase by almost 40% since 1995 and is impossible to manage. Needs to be broken up into smaller units to be more responsive. Everything else - teacher shortages, stripped down rigor all flow from the above. [/quote]
