[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at Algebra 1 for middle school it gets even stranger. Algebra 1 in middle school should be kids working at grade level. The kids who are struggling should be in Math 8 not Algebra 1. If you look at where the schools fell in % of students that showed proficiency is really bad. The schools on the bottom list do not all have more than 50% FARMS kids. Many schools in the middle have FARMS rate that are pretty low.

Look at Algebra I for the high schools. Wow.   Even the "great" high schools.[/quote]

The only students who take Algebra I in high school are the students taking below-grade-level math. Students taking grade-level math take Algebra I in 8th grade - i.e, middle school. Students taking above-grade-level math take Algebra I in 7th grade -- also middle school.

Now, is it good that the students taking below-grade-level math are not doing well on proficiency? No, it's not. But it's useful to know what we're talking about.[/quote]

I know what we are talking about.   Still shocking re how low those score are.  (and thanks for that extra person-splaining on your part.  :roll: )[/quote]
