[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think poster at 15:09 hit the nail on the head.

In the link of the descriptions it, says the report card includes all students who completed high school for that year.  So would be diploma and certificate of completers.

So as the poster said, look at the 2023 results t o get the proficiency rates for the class of 2025.  It won't be exact due students coming in and out and also taking the test after 2023.  But Einstein's ELA 10 proficiency rate in 2023 was 29.8.  And that's the majority of the students that make up the 2025 report card tab numbers for the ELA proficiency rates.[/quote]

Thank you! Why do you think there is such a huge difference? And also, why is this so hard to figure out?[/quote]

I don't remember the exact timeline of things.

But I think they stopped testing a bit during the pandemic.  Then after the pandemic testing wasn't required because students couldn't get the remediation they needed.

Then they rolled out new versions of the test.  Where it was the PARCC before the pandemic.  Then they had an early version of the MCAP.  Then the MCAP.

And if I recall correctly the first version of the actual MCAP, not the special administration/Early Fall, almost everyone failed and the highest proficiency rate schools had was like maybe 65 percent.

It might've been that or it might've been that the school or students chose to blow off the test because they figured that students didn't need to pass it to graduate.  But that's just a guess.  Someone that actually knew what was going on at the school would probably have to give the details.[/quote]

MCPS offered free tutoring for a few years but few did it and it was hit or miss on tutors.  We used it some.

I think the curriculum plays a huge part in the low numbers.  They do teach foundation anymore with spelling, grammar, reading comp, and vocabulary.  Kids barely read books anymore.  It's hit or miss on the teacher your child is assigned to and how much effort they put into it.[/quote]
