[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole grade inflation fiasco just disguises how little kids learn (or want to learn) and how much is effectively taught in DCPS schools. [/quote]

yes, it's crazy. I recently went down a rabbit trail to look at AP scores in MCPS vs. DCPS and it's night and day.  
DCPS basically sucks.  Don't jump on me: I'm a long-term DCPS advocate but the AP results are pathetic[/quote]

Example:  
Calculus BC:  15% got a 3-5 in DCPS,  85% got a 3-5 in MCPS.

The grade inflation in DCPS helps no one. i'm sure almost all of the 85% of DCPS students who failed the calculus BC AP exam did well in the class.  You don't just randomly end up in this class so if you're in it, you're probably doing the work.  They're basically getting As but learning nothing.   :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

Did you get the DCPS data from the 2022-23 school year data set? Because those number of test takers in each column seem wrong in some classes.  Not to say only 15% in DCPS passed, but there is not way more kids in DCPS took BC than AB.[/quote]
