[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was not the entire course in one exam. It only goes back to the second half of the year.[/quote] Which makes all these 25-50% passing rates even worse. MCPS has been blessed with very educated parents who pretty much teach/enrich their kids lives at home. They keep those test scores up in our county. What MCPS can not do is teach the average child or the below average child to pass a class. Many teachers grade on curves, give extra credit, let them redo a project or report. It is easy to pass a class without actually knowing the material. The exam is the one thing the teacher can not touch (although in 2014, the exams grades were so bad, they gave EVERYONE 15 extra points - for NOTHING!!! - well except to bump up their scores to make MCPS not look so bad) Of course the kids are happy but I can not fathom why parents are happy.
