Algebra II scores released
Scores from last spring’s administration of the Algebra II End of Course Exam are now in schools and being distributed to students and parents. The exam, which does not count as a graduation requirement, was administered for the second time last spring, though this is the first year that cut scores for performance were set and distributed.
The scores are divided in to three categories based on readiness for college and career: “well prepared,” “prepared,” or “needs preparation.” Each student’s individual report shows individual, school and state performance.
Arkansas’s state scores are similar to the other 14 states that gave the exam: 3 percent are “well prepared,” 9 percent are “prepared” and 88 percent “need preparation.”
“We have never been afraid in this state to learn how our students are performin, even if the news is not what we would like it to be the first time around,” Interim Education Commissioner Diana Julian said in an ADE release.
Scores by school are posted on the ADE Web site..
