[quote=Anonymous]OK, so they are early month K students (Sept.) being assessed instead of late preschool in June.

But these are apple to apple numbers, and the numbers of being ready for K didn't just drop, they plummeted under the new "rigorous" Common Core. Oh, and people who think "rigor" ad 4- and 5-year-olds go together are just sick.

How do these results compare with the MMSR Kindergarten Assessment? 
In school year 2013
-
14, when the MMSR assessment was administered 
for the last time, 83 
percent of all kindergarteners were fully ready for the kindergarten curriculum that followed the 
old Maryland State Curriculum.  The new Maryland College and Career Standards have raised 
the bar for all school age students, including
kindergarteners.  The KRA measures are different 
from the ones used in the MMSR.  This year’s results do not represent kindergarteners that are 
less prepared than the group from previous years but the first group of children starting school 
that is being 
assessed with a more rigorous assessment measuring school readiness in such a way 
to prepare them for 21
