[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I peeked at the MCAP Math proficiency scores for Kennedy, Wheaton, Einstein and Northwood, and they were all at 5%.  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

Blair was the best of the DCC with a 6% proficiency in Math for the MCAP.[/quote]

To put this in context, B-CC has a 8.5% proficiency rate, and Blair has a 6.6% rate, but both have a 5% rate for kids who receive FARMS.

Walter Johnson's proficiency rate is 5.7% overall, and the Whitman rate is a whopping 12%.

Basically, the math rates are not useful metrics for any school because it is *only* the Algebra I test. Your average "bright" MCPS kid takes that test in 7th grade. Your average grade level MCPS kids take that test in 8th.

So the only kids taking that test in 9th grade or above are kids who were already below grade level. Some kids seem to be doing better than other, but whether that's due to the school or to parents pushing in supports/tutoring for kids with learning differences, the numbers are just going to be low across the board.
