[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t believe you are worried about this. MCPS is one of the most diverse school systems in the country. [/quote]

Have you seen what the proficiencies in ELA and Math are for Black students in MCPS? They're not good. OP has plenty of reason to worry.[/quote]

Unfortunately I think this is mostly tied to income. Wealthy Black students do just as well as wealthy white students.[/quote]

Uh, no they don’t. I don’t know what data you’re looking at but it’s not MCPS’s.

Non-FARMS Black kids don’t match the academic proficiencies of non-FARMS white kids. This was outlined in MCPS Antiracism audit. You should read it.[/quote]

Not the PP, but the Anti-Racism Audit was not about test scores/outcomes. It was about workplace and school culture, access to opportunities, whether kids were seeing their experiences reflected in the curriculum, etc. Here is the top line summary: "MAEC
was charged with evaluating MCPS’s efforts toward achieving racial equity across the district, examining six
domains: (1) school culture, (2) workforce diversity, (3) work conditions, (4) Pre-K–12 curriculum, (5) community
relations and engagement, and (6) equity of access."[/quote]
