[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Lady this is what the data shows. Compare McLean and Langely same time. Data shows both the schools PA percentage increased compared to 20-21. You can check other schools too

McLean
----------
Alg I - Pass Advanced changed from 2% in 20-21 then to 5% in 21-22 and up to 7% in 22-23  (trending higher)
Alg II - PA changed from 33 to 31 then up to 30 (relatively same)
Geometry - PA changed from 3 to 25 and finally 23 (trending higher) 
Biology - PA changed form 25 to 35 and now 23 (trending higher)

Langely
---------
Alg I - Pass Advanced changed from 0% in 20-21 then to 3% in 21-22 and up to 2% in 22-23  (trending higher)
Alg II - PA changed from 9 to 45 then up to 55 (relatively same)
Geometry - PA changed from 6 to 24 and finally 21 (trending higher) 
Biology - PA changed form 28 to 37 and now 31 (trending higher)

It is unsurprising that the schools least affected by the pandemic would be the wealthiest schools. I don't know what you were trying to prove here, but it probably wasn't the one you were going for.[/quote]

Well it is raw data. It is just showing that the high schools fed from previous feeder middle schools (old selection process) see an increase in the PA %ge (as expected). By the way getting PA in SOL by no means indicates gifted-ness. Nothing to do with pandemic, data is reflecting impact of the new TJ selection process (which is good as the strength of other schools are improving too)
