[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't about SOLs - which are supposed to be a reflection of standard knowledge, this is about Virginia having amongst the lowest standards in the country.  What our ratings call "proficient" most the country considers failing.   You can check out various data points https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/profiles/stateprofile/overview/va

https://assessmenthq.org/state/virginia/

The nations score card is how we are measured against other nations - and we are not leading there but worse, Virginia set the pass level absurdly low so we can all think we have advanced proficient kids that would be mapped totally differently in other states.

Personally I think its terrible we have such low standards. Its like vanity sizes on women's clothes - you can say you're a 6 when you are wearing what used to be a 12 or 14. To me, its just sad that FCPS fights this. [/quote]

But simply lowering the cut score (off cycle) doesn't fix anything. Schools need additional resources to help with struggling kids, not budget cuts like Youngkin proposed.

That is true, once they turn the lights on (align with other state score system) they will have to clean up the mess.   They should still turn the lights on.[/quote]
