Yeah I can't see exact scores for 8th grade but the county score breakdowns look very rough. About 40% of 8th graders got a D or lower.

9th grade wasn't bad. County average was like an 83% and there was no correction

My kid said middle school (8th grade probably) was at 68%? Maybe he misunderstood. Has anyone heard anything? I checked parentvue and it says he got 40/40.

It was 15 questions, two questions had Part A and Part B. 17 total answers

There you go, that makes sense then! So maybe my kid's score went from 14/17 to 14/16...

Were you under some misguided impressions that smart students only live down county?

No but i have been on this forum long enough that a lot of people treat everything north of Pike and Rose to be a 3rd world country

The question was not scored wrong. It was just not included in the score. Nobody had a grade suffer because of that one question.

That's 14/17 to 15/17 , matching previous guess.

Were there 17 questions? In ParentVue my kid’s grade says 75/100 points. Seems like the math is wrong if there were only 17 points.

Also, there’s been no correction to the gradebook. Should I be asking about the question that posters here say was scored incorrectly?

It's possible that your kid's answer to that question was scored correctly the first time.

They were converted to percentages. I dunno, I just assumed it was 17 questions based on my kid's score (working back to how many correct Qs out of how many would result in that percentage.) He said there were 15 questions... maybe there were 15, but every got some points straight off and then they added to those. Just spitballing here. PPs who are teachers may know better.

Do these scores go directly in the grade book without calibration or scaling?

Probably. My co-teacher is the one who handles the gradebook so I'll ask them tomorrow

1/4 getting C or below is well below MCPS performance against expectations for MCPS curriculum.
