Are you for real?? Your condescending overcoming as adversity is BS. These kids deserve a quiet and well run show to help them do the best they can on a very important tests.
Go have your “overcoming ad adversity” kid take the test in one of these shi*tshow and don’t come crying when they tank the test.
It’s incredible how some posters on here make every stupid excuse in the book for unacceptable things in DCPS instead of demanding better.
No dog in this fight but Pp you’re totally correct. What a piece of $h1t comment. Kids deserve to have a fair shot at a good SAT with good proctors. This has nothing to do with overcoming adversity. And I bet plenty of those kids in the room already overcame quite a bit of adversity just to be there. Grow up. Pathetic.

How is the situation with dropping off at the school? Is that pretty smooth? DD signed up for ACT in a few weeks.

My kids will retake if necessary. Probably yours as well. Other kids won't be able to.

My older kid took it there a few years ago and had 2 terrible proctor experiences - both times proctor didnt show, total disarray, test started 1 hour late
My younger one took it there yesterday and had a good room proctor. BUT he heard from another room that had a terrible experience.
Next time not risking it and going to St Johns

She is just blaming the proctors.

DC took it at Jackson Reed in the last two years. I think a lot of the proctors are whoever they can find that needs to make a buck. It's not teachers making a bit extra or just helping out like it might have been before. So, it is sounds like it is still a mess sometimes.

That is so disrespectful to the students and such a disservice to them. This makes me really sad.

OMG, pp, what is wrong with you? Why are you attacking me? FWIW, I suggested he call College Board to complain but he said he thinks he may have improved on one section so he does not want to invalidate the results.
That said, my kid has another administration coming up, thankfully NOT at Jackson-Reid. But what about kids who only have this one sitting for the SAT? It’s expensive and I know when I was a kid I could not have afforded to take it multiple times.
This is an equity issue and it is appalling.
So, you are complaining on DCUM and you yourself will not even call college board even though the whole thing was a shitshow?
I guess you just needed to scream into a virtual pillow?

This stinks.
My kids (I have twins) did have good experiences with Jackson Reed ACT and SAT administrations during the spring and early summer--the school is capable of doing it right.
Maybe this was a summer crew?

Proctors falling asleep and snoring during SAT administration. Proctors chatting on their phones during SAT testing. Proctors blasting loud music through their headphones.
This is unacceptable. Ask your kids about their experience today. College Board should give everyone affected a free retake.
