[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they all drop out by end of 8th grade and all that's left is that big bump in scores that MCPS sees in 11th grade testing by demographic. nevermind that some sample groups are considerably smaller. [/quote]

Not even remotely true and patently racist. [/quote]

The data is on the MCPS website. The number of ESOL, FARMS and hispanic student in each class grade cliffs off after 8th and 9th grade severely. It is one of many problems the county has to deal with since keeping them as engaged populace and productive workers is imperative to civil society.  Dropping out because you are getting poor grades and then turn to cash jobs, teen pregnancies, or making trouble is a real problem in the east side of Montgomery County. THe pressure is there from one's tribe as well. It's the way things are done. [/quote]

That change isn’t due to drop outs. It’s due to a bubble in younger children. That hump will move along to HS in future years. [/quote]
