No.  The change in Math occurred last year not this year. So the scores should actually be better this year not worse.

And there are private schools outside of Alexandria which children may attend so leaving an Alexandria private doesn't mean automatically going to a City school. It could mean going to another private elsewhere.[/quote]

I couldn't find the statistic that PP quoted saying that 18% of 8th grade ACPS students passed the math SOL. Everything I read on the subject said that math scores were up in ACPS and reading scores were down (since reading tests changed this year). For example, in this chart it says that, for Algebra II, there was a 72% pass rate in ACPS, which is up 10% from last year. That's actually the most improvement of any county listed.

The same article says that "Alexandria City Schools saw improvements in seven out of nine of its math assessments."[/quote]

You can find the stat I mentioned here:
