[quote=Anonymous]I, for one, am very concerned about this new law and the concern is that most people don't really understand STAAR scores and how low Texas is setting the bar for students to be enrolled in the advanced math. The law calls for any student scoring in the 60th percentile on Grade 5 Math STAAR. Students in Texas are not doing well on their STAAR tests - that is the 1st problem. IN order to score in the 60th percentile students ONLY have to get 55% of the questions/material/skills correct on the STAAR. Does anyone on these posts think that learning and knowing only 55% of the grade level material means that you are ready to be in an accelerated program. More students will struggle and just get pushed along and these students will not go on to take advanced math - they will not even score "college ready". Texas is really good about not being clear on what the results on STAAR actually mean. There are so many scale scores it is confusing to most people. [/quote]
