Those schools are all majority Hispanic. All of them have high farm rates too. Lots of English language learners. Does this surprise anyone that these are underperforming schools?


Given the demographics are they "underperforming" or are they simply scoring lower than other schools? Let's look more closely at the data to see if perhaps the English language learners are meeting or exceeding expectations as a group.

Meh, so?
We are in ACPS, we have one school that has again been denied accreditation for something like the 5th year.


ACPS has multiple schools that also were partially accredited as of yesterday, one school denied accreditation altogether (J-H), and no schools on par with the top schools in FCPS, which are the best in the state. What was your point?


Why isn't J-H on this list? I was surprised it wasn't. Is it because this list is partially accredited?


It's not on the list because the list is only Fairfax county schools

The list of schools in FCPS that aren't fully accredited in FCPS is now down to 9. More than there should be, but better than as of 6/12 and well below the overall state average.

If they score between 375-399. They need around an 50% to pass


http://schoolprofiles.fcps.edu/schlprfl/f?p=108:18:::NO:0_CURRENT_SCHOOL_ID,P0_EDSL:220,0


Lol. That is ridiculous. Shouldn't a low score be used to provide remediation instead of retaking it to make the school look better?


Yes, but this clearly is not about helping the students. It's about avoiding the obligation to do meaningful, long term remediation.

You don't sound like you've passed the English SOL yourself.


I did I passed the Writing sol and Reading sol.


After retakes!!!



Reading SOL I passed the first time. The writing sol I did pass in my Senior year after retaking it. I think I took 4 times in total, but I know a lot about accreditation. I also know that passing sol on the sol exam is about an 50%
