[quote=Anonymous]While increasing graduation rates is generally a positive trend, I can’t help but wonder how much of this rise is tied to the online credit recovery program many MCPS students use to make up failed courses. For those unfamiliar, Edmentum allows students to recover credits in a relatively short amount of time. In my experience, many students do the bare minimum to pass, and answer keys are widely available on third-party websites. Actually pretty surprised there hasn't been a ton of reporting on the program, it's such a hack. This raises the question: Are we truly ensuring students have mastered the material, or are we just pushing them through to graduation...? Does anyone know if MCPS has data on how Edmentum has impacted graduation rates? From my perspective (MCPS high school teacher), it seems like a major factor in the increase, but I’d be curious to see if the district has examined this more closely (though I'm sure we all can guess, the fix is in).
