Worcester Test Scores Impress

NEWARK – School assessment data released this week reveals that Worcester County students have again exceeded state averages.

School system officials announced Thursday that the latest PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) scores show that Worcester County once again leads the state in college and career readiness (CCR) in five of the assessments administered last year. Worcester leads the shore in CCR in nine assessments and ranks second in the shore in all other assessments.

“The examination of these scores is further affirmation that what we are doing here in Worcester County is working,” said Superintendent of Schools Lou Taylor. “It is evident that our students are showing remarkable growth and success, which in turn validates the dedication and innovative work of our educators. Worcester County Public Schools is supported by an incredible network of partners: our students and their families, our faculty and staff, school and administrative leaders, our Board of Education and our County Commissioners who have all had a part in our students achieving this high level of success.”

Are they still using Common Core and the 'New Math'? Both should be abolished for Good.

HS test requirements are English in 10th grade, Algebra 1 the year you take it, Government the year you take it and there is a switch from a Biology test to integrated science that I'm not sure what year it is taken as my kid is done with the tests needed.
