James Dean of Florida Today (Melbourne, FL, US) reported surprisingly low pass rates for the Florida high-stakes assessment.
Most seniors who took the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test in March won’t graduate with regular high school diplomas this month.
Of the 304 [Brevard County School District] 12th-graders who took the reading test, 22 percent passed, while 37 percent of the 174 students taking math passed.
Does this sound a bit strange? Those pass rates are low overall, no? But, elsewhere in the article, there are indications that these students may be a selected sample, that perhaps others have already passed and are not in the pool about which Dean is reporting. Still, one has to hope that Brevard schools are using effective practices with these students. I have to bet that they didn’t get effective practices when they were substantially younger, though.
