[quote=Anonymous]Actually, 6 out of 10 is not bad. It's not impressive, but it's definitely nothing to sneer at. You have to remember that a score of "5" means that the school passing rate (i.e. the percentage of kids passing the SOLs) is equal to the passing rate for the whole state. So, they are above average. White students are scoring a "10" at Barrett. That means they are in the top 10% of all students in Virginia for passing the SOLs. In fact, if you dig deeper, you'd see that 100% of white 4th graders passed both math and reading. 100% of white 3rd graders passed history, science, and math, and only 97% of white third graders passed reading. Learn what the stats mean before you start slamming this school. FWIW, my kids go to a FCPS that is an "8" out of 10 and I'm sure they do not have 100% of white kids passing 3rd or 4th grade subjects of any kind. (and we have FARMs of about 14%).[/quote]
