[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear the math teachers are very frustrated with the math preparations of incoming students. Discussing changes to grading policies.[/quote]
Yeah the SOL scores really have taken a dramatic turn. Maybe skills-based grading could be an option? [/quote]

seems interesting 
Alg I - Pass Advanced dropped from 70% (20-21) to 29% in 21-22 and up to 56% in 22-23
Alg II - PA dropped from 63 to 53 then up to 58
Geometry - PA dropped from 73 to 42 and finally 41 
Biology - PA dropped form 66 to 53 and now 58

1st year (class of 2025) seems to be generally a steep drop but again catching up (could be multiple reasons including people dropping out or not applying, OR improvement/tuning in the admission process. I thought the additional weights for the under-represented school was removed as it already had 1.5% quota, also I think the free meal issue was only identified and fixed for class of 2026).

Generally if the admission process improves to include the teacher recommendation etc then we should see the SOL's improving over time[/quote]

Who is taking Algebra I at TJ?  How does that happen?  Not surprised those numbers are low.  Same with Geometry, although taking it is a bit more understandable.[/quote]
