[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please explain the threshold for offering a child a retake vs. just letting them fail?[/quote]

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 - [b]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.[/b][/quote]
MS parent here. DC is taking algebra and we began using math tutor for the first time. Before that, in ES, we always did math together at home. Do what you need to support your child. Parent-teacher collaboration is what makes FCPS highly regarded. [/quote]
