[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another look at MCAP results from another source: https://wtop.com/maryland/2024/08/maryland-test-results-show-small-gains-nagging-achievement-gaps-among-demographic-groups/

MCPS claims we're beating state averages, which I guess might be true, but when you roll up all the grade levels and the results, here's how things shake out by Math:

Carroll, Worcester and Howard County Public Schools outperformed MCPS in math.

For ELA, it's worse. Harford, Queen Anne's, Frederick, Calvert, Howard, Carroll, Worcester all outperformed MCPS in ELA.[/quote]
Well that test is seriously flawed if no jurisdiction can score over 50% on the math portion. 
Even on the ELA, the scores are not great for anyone. 
Something is not right with that test. [/quote]

[b]Or maybe our system is not doing its job?[/b] The MCAP is not the only proof point that says our kids are not reading and doing math at proficiency levels that previous generations were capable of doing.[/quote]
When you said "our system ", what are referring to? Because no jurisdiction is "doing is job", no one is getting  50% on the math and some are barely making the grade on the ELA. 
It tells me that it's not the jurisdictions, but the test to be evaluated. [/quote]
