[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is a senior and almost everyone failed the algebra 1 MCAP over covid.  At my kids' MS I think only 10% passed.  So typical MCPS still moved everyone along and waived the requirement.   [/quote]

Looking at mdreportcard, other then the comment that MCPS moved everyone along, this comment kind of tracks:

https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/Assessments/MathPerformance/UALG01/U/6/3/1/15/XXXX/2023

Current 12th graders were 9th graders in 2023.  And the state proficiency rate for Algebra 1 was 17.2 percent.  While the proficiency rate for MCPS was 22.2 percent.

The decision to not make the MCAP the requirement comes from the state, not MCPS.

And the MCAP can be used as an indicator or tool.  But the factors behind it and what it really means need to be taken into account too.  Those early years of the MCAP scores shouldn't be used as an indicator of the student's knowledge of the subject matter.  Especially if OP's kid took Algebra 1 two years prior.[/quote]
