[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take a look at the MCAP Algebra 1 proficiency rate for these three middle schools for African American/Black:

https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/Assessments/MathPerformance/UALG01/U/10/3/1/13/0512/2025

https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/Assessments/MathPerformance/UALG01/U/10/3/1/10/0716/2025

State: 10.9 percent

MCPS: 15.3 percent
Howard: 19.2 percent
Frederick: 20.2 percent

Ridgeview Middle School (Montgomery): 15.4 percent
Wilde Lake MS (Howard): 48 percent
Urbana MS (Frederick): 95 percent

For the African American/Black demographic percentages by school:

Ridgeview 135/722=18 percent
Wilde Lake 277/643=43 percent
Urbana 130/1090=12 percent

So the issue at MCPS/Montgomery County isn't necessarily race/demographic related.  And the issue/solution isn't necessarily a Black/Brown issue.

Maybe a FARMS issue?  For FARMS:

State: 10.3 percent

MCPS: 11 percent
Howard: 14.3 percent
Frederick: 13.3 percent

Ridgeview Middle School (Montgomery): 16.7 percent
Wilde Lake MS (Howard): 26.3 percent
Urbana MS (Frederick): 95 percent

For the FARMS percentages by school:

Ridgeview 299/702=42.6 percent
Wilde Lake 286/665=43 percent
Urbana 169/1097=15.4 percent

I don't know much about Wilde Lake Middle School.  But Wilde Lake High has a reputation of being one of the weaker schools in Howard County.  But their Black/African American population percentage is higher then Ridgeview's and their FARMS rate is about the same.  But both of the student groups at Wilde Lake outperforms their counterparts at Ridgeview.

So what is the difference between the two schools and school systems and what they are doing?

All these things MCPS is doing and proposing, with the "equality", regional models, etc are not improving the quality of education for the students.[/quote]

Fantastic digging and great questions. MCPS needs to be held accountable for its failures.[/quote]
