[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a crappy article. You can fund the latest MCAP data on this site:

[url]https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/AtaGlance/Index/3/17/6/15/XXXX/2022[/url][/quote]

I don't know why you think it's crappy, but the data in the article is not the same as what's available on the site. That site only has last year's data.

It looks like the investigative reporter at WJLA got their hands on MSDE data that is soon to be released or hasn't been widely released yet, probably via a FOIA request or something.[/quote]

[i]"In a startling revelation, over 80% of Maryland students have fallen short on state proficiency tests in math and English language arts, according to scores reported by the state's Department of Education."[/i]

If the scores were in fact "reported" by MSDE, where is the link to the data? If they obtained data via a public information request, they should state that in the article. They just include selected bits of information here and there, and label it as the "2022-2023 semester," whatever that is. How can anyone verify anything?[/quote]

Do you think, WJLA ABC News, is in the habit of making up reporting and information like this? You do know they would be sued for reporting false information like this?

Also, if this data was false, MCPS and PGPS, both of whom had spokespeople respond to the reporter for this article, would have said so. They confirmed the data and provided responses on how their school districts are responding to the data.

I don't know why you're trying so hard to claim this data is false or made up, but it's not and there's no credible evidence to suggest it is anyway. Stop grasping at straws and engage with the information or not.[/quote]

It's not that I'm claiming the data is "false or made up," it's that the article is so poorly written and/or edited and shows an inattention to detail. I would like to see the actual data and see if the reporters have described it accurately.[/quote]
