FCPS used to release all this data on their school profiles.  The state VA Dept of Education no longer allows that--they want to control all the data releases.  Blame them not FCPS.[/quote]

They never released individual scores. The other thing is if kids fail but make progress from previous year it counts as a pass.[/quote]

They released all the percentages of Pass Proficient, Pass Advanced, and not Passing.  CLose enough.[/quote]

Yes, but these tests are unfair to ESL kids. So the data is skewed. [/quote]

Some kids are exempt from taking them.[/quote]

Very few kids are exempt - a tiny fraction of a percent. [/quote] What does this matter? [/quote]

Why does it matter? Because a PP was saying many ESL kids are exempt. Implying that schools with high ESL populations have a shot at a good score because so many kids are exempt. They are not exempt. It matters because kids who have been in the US less than a year are expected to take and pass these tests. It matters because kids who have been in this country 2 or 3 years are expected to take and pass these tests.

And when they don’t pass and a school with a lot of ESL students gets a low score everyone likes to say how bad the school is. Or how great their own school is when really it’s just a school of fortunate white, born in the USA upper income parents who succeeded in having a white born in the USA kid who goes to a school filled with other upper middle income white kids.

SOL scores mean NOTHING unless looked at in context.[/quote]

Why do people like you have to always sh*t on white people? You could have made your same point without bringing race into it. [/quote]

Pointing out privilege isn’t “sh*tting” on white people. DP.  :roll:

Not all rich people are white. Not all white people are rich. [/quote]
