[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fact: Florida has higher NAEP scores than ‘all-mighty’ Maryland even though Maryland spends 2x more.  Cue someone from MoCo who blames Baltimore for these abysmal scores when MCPS is the largest school district in Maryland.  Lol. [/quote]

This cannot be.

NP. You could have just looked this up yourself, could t you? DC at the absolute bottom, FL near the very top.[/quote]

This doesn't show what you think it does.

[quote]Federal law specifies that NAEP is voluntary for every student, school, school district, and state. However, federal law also requires all states that receive Title I funds to participate in NAEP reading and mathematics assessments at fourth and eighth grades. Similarly, school districts that receive Title I funds and are selected for the NAEP sample are also required to participate in NAEP reading and mathematics assessments at fourth and eighth grades.[/quote]

Other than Title 1 schools, which yes, would include Baltimore City schools, you don't have any idea which schools in MD, or FL for that matter, took part.

This is cherry picking data.

When I first saw the data, I was shocked, too, until I read that FAQ and realized that the data does not reflect the entire state.[/quote]

There you go blaming Baltimore again… the Kirwin Commission came to the exact same conclusion on NAEP and they didn’t say MCPS was some bastion of excellence.  Let’s face it, they are ranked 5th in the state.  Why do you think Maryland’s grand pooh bahs are spending 4 BILLION in the next 10 years to try to fix it. (Blueprint is its name) Look it up - facts are stubborn things.  Florida is a better state for education currently than Maryland.[/quote]
