[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Point of fact.  According to Great Schools (the bible for DCUM).

Urbana
English proficiency 84%
Algebra 1 74%
Algebra 2 93%

Sherwood
English proficiency 50%
Algebra 1 13%
Nothing listed for Algebra 2

Let me guess your next response: ‘all the schools are great in MoCo.’  And I said in a few years if the policies continue the way Lynne Harris would like.  If you can work at home and the schools are actually focused on education and not ‘wokeness’ then Frederick is viable.

Data doesn’t always mean what you think it means.

In mcps, the standard for algebra I is 8th grade. The advanced students take it in 7th. The only students who take it in high school are students who have fallen significantly behind, so those are the only students whose scores are being measured on the Algebra I test in high school.

Another point of fact for you: at Montgomery Blair, home of the math/science magnet and the communications magnet and a heck of a lot of bright kids, the Algebra I pass rate is 6%. That is because a significant majority of the kids took and passed it in 7th and 8th grades and thus did not take it in high school.

It looks like maybe the standard for Algebra I in Frederick County is a little later.[/quote]
