[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FC[b]PS under Michelle Reid views transparency as getting in the way of equity. [/b] So FCPS is no longer disclosing (at least not on a timely basis) data that used to be disclosed every year, such as:

- SAT scores by school (school-wide or disaggregated by race/ethnicity);
- Admissions to TJ by middle school; and
- Racial/ethnic data for individual schools

Instead, we should all pretend every school is the same, where all outcomes will be the same, and that no data can be shared without "contextualizing" it so that the stupid FCPS parents understand how exactly Reid and her staff want everyone to interpret it.  [/quote]

haha.  so well put.  Another mess created by DEI[/quote]

It's great that all children now have a shot at these advanced programs even one's from poor families.[/quote]
This is a lie.  
Academically advanced poor kids have no way of showing they are more prepared than other poor kids since there is no evaluation.  Under prepared poor kids who are admitted without middle school readiness suffer and quit freshman year, leaving no poor kids enrolled at all.  FCPS does not know who they are admitting among the poor:  the qualified or under prepared.  [/quote]

:roll:

There are course requirements and GPA is submitted. Average GPA was higher than previous classes. [/quote]

Average GPA is higher than previous classes, but SOL scores are lower than ever.  Hmmm...

GPA is pretty meaningless when there's so much grade inflation.  I wouldn't be surprised if almost every AAP center has 100 kids taking 3 or more honors classes with straight As in all of them.  [/quote]

You also cannot compare SOL scores directly because they are rescored.[/quote]
Wonder if they’ll have to rescore the SATs too?[/quote]

They've been rescoring the SATs every few years for a long time.[/quote]

Scores today are on average about 200 points higher than 40 years ago. Look up what the median SAT was for Harvard in 1978.[/quote]

It's not the same test at all, doesn't test the same things.[/quote]
