[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]In 3rd grade, very few failed the reading test. In 6th, almost half the class failed[/quote] This is where the mobility rate can come in. Did those sixth graders pass the test when they were in third grade? Were they even at the school then?[/quote] I don't think the mobility rate is a huge factor. This year it's showing one child increase in 6th grade. There could be more changes with someone dropping and someone adding, but the change isn't high. I'm noticing a lot of schools have low language arts pass rates, even ones that aren't title 1. Perhaps the standards have just been raised above what most bilingual children can handle or there just isn't enough emphasis on this subject within FCPS or this particular school. If FCPS can figure out how to teach to a low title one population school like this one, then they can probably have better success in the larger schools like Hybla Valley.[/quote]
