[quote=Anonymous]No argument that the Math scores need to get better. While they fell across the state, they fell more in ACPS than the state average. HOWEVER, I wondered if the really bad Math 8 scores were related to the push to get 8th graders to take Algebra. Spoke to a staff person, and turns out yes. The kids taking Math 8 were made up almost entirely of students who were Special Ed, ESOL, or both. The pass rates for the 5 middle schools in Algebra were: 84, 72, 85, 86, 74. Again, as PP said, it's still unacceptable--the school needs all the scores in all the subgroups to go up. I'd also like to know what percentage of 8th graders were taking Algebra (or Geometry) vs. Math 8.[/quote]
