[quote=Anonymous]I’ve got three kids in McPS that have been at 5 different schools over 13 years. I think McPS has generally done a great job although there’s some unevenness and I wish the English curriculum was different. My kids always score high proficient or whatever the thing above that is. But I also recognize we are upper income educated parents who speak English as our first language. For the most part, I think McPS is doing pretty well with kids like ours. But there are a ton of low income and ESL families in McPS and I’m not surprised they aren’t reaching proficiency. I also think the tests aren’t well designed so they overstate the problem a bit. My kids are really top students so the fact that they don’t always get the top category suggests to me that the test is not fully recognizing their level off proficiency. [/quote]
