They are eligible to retake if they scored at least 375. It is up to the parents if they want them to retake if it’s not a high school course. If it is a HS class, it’s likely needed for graduation and there will be a retake date. If in HS and below 375 the retake would be later in summer or fall after remediation instead of in 1-2 weeks during the expedited retake/make up window.

If it’s elementary school and below 375 there is not an option to retake but remediation will likely be offered.  [/quote]

So if it's ES and below 375 will they still wait until the summer to tell us the score or will they try to do some remediation in the next couple of weeks? I don't have a whole lot of faith in my kid's school, she has been doing poorly and the school has not offered us any help. We've had to hire tutors.[/quote]

They won’t receive remediation this year, that is saved for the students in the retake zone. I wouldn’t count on it for next year either. EVERY year it takes 3-4 months to get the MTSS process up and running. Stay with the tutoring. (ES Teacher)[/quote]

Thank you for answering honestly - we are definitely going to stick with tutoring. I find it amazing that FCPS is supposed to be one of the best school districts in the country, but have found it to be mediocre at best.[/quote]
