[quote=Anonymous][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% [b](20-21)[/b] 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

Anyone want to talk about how 20-21 was Covid and declines in grades/scores declined everywhere? I know people won't want to hear this but mental health and social wellness impacts academic performance (in addition to remote learning). But, by all means, let's talk about how its all about "the lack of rigor" and "unqualified students." Interestingly, RS1 students are currently learning about biases in data collection. Maybe some parents on this board should take the course.

I'll see many your kids in therapy one day.

Unfortunately you are not looking closer at the data this year and last especially in light of the admission changes. It would reveal much larger gaps and performance decline. It's also funny you would omit the fact that prior to the changes, the overwhelming majority of students took the AlgII SOL and had even higher Pass Advanced Rates than that. [/quote]
