[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved for reasons unrelated to schools, from the Rocky Run to Pow Middle area. The Algebra class taught here is about a third of the syllabus and depth of what is being taught to students at our old school. No wonder our SOL scores are so low.  There is a significant difference entering TJ from Rocky Run or Longfellow, which prepare students with solid middle school math and science to be successful at TJ if given an offer, versus coming from a lower-tier middle school like our current one through the 1.5% quota, and struggling miserably at TJ and likely returning to base school.[/quote]
More than half of class gets inflated As, if no attendance issue. But majority fail SOL, only a quarter pass. [/quote]

Are you the same poster from that other thread attacking Poe? I have no idea where you're getting your data from or if you're just making numbers up on the spot. I think you used US News which has incorrect data. The Algebra 1 pass rate at Poe last year was was 83%. For reference, Lake Braddock's Algebra 1 pass rate was 89%. Straight from VDOE statistical reports for 2023.

Poe is 47% ELL and 57% FARMS, while LBSS Middle is 7% ELL and 21% FARMs. I'd say Poe is meeting expectations.[/quote]
