[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test optional has made a surprising number of my students skip taking the test (or not worry about it and take it "just to see").  10 years ago kids would prep intensely, but i rarely see that now.

I realize that's not unique to FCPS, but it's an interesting variable.[/quote]

I've wondered if that would happen.  TBH, that sounds great.  Prepping for the SAT shouldn't even be a thing. [/quote]

And yet scores are improving elsewhere and declining in FCPS.  It seems the curse of low expectations is alive and well in FCPS.  [/quote]

Participation is declining at a greater rate elsewhere and barely at all in FCPS.  So "elsewhere" in VA only the top students are taking the test compared to prior years.  Please don't make faulty assumptions about numbers and then use it to confirm your biased perspectives.  If you're going to call "decline" and give your reasons why, at least have the integrity to carefully understand the data first (which doesn't show what you are suggesting).[/quote]
