[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All- Read this PP's explanation. It's an excellent and really shows that either MCPS had its thumb on the scales as someone put it so well or that the whole premise that there is an achievement gap is wrong. You can't have both and have numbers come out like that.[/quote] The achievement gap is real. Look at Math 5 Performance Level 5 for various races: https://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/Assessments/MathPerformance/2MA/5/12/3/1/15/XXXX/2019[/quote] I think that's the point. That the achievement gap is real therefore there's no way it was a completely random unweighted lottery. There are other factors like the high rate of FARMS admissions that show it's mathematically not random.[/quote] It doesn't mean that at all. If there's 35% FARMS in the county and they locally norm scores at many schools with 60%-70% FARMS this is bound to happen. No mystery here. Just basic math.[/quote]
