State notifies parents before releasing awful test scores | ajc.com
School uproar: Did fautly test fail kids? | ajc.com
According to the unofficial results, only 20 to 30 percent of Georgia's sixth- and seventh-graders passed the state social studies exam. In math, about 40 percent of eighth-graders could be held back because they failed the test.
When a few students don't pass we have a problem with students that parents need to address. When 70-80% don't pass the social studies exam and 40% don't pass the math, we have a problem with the schools that the citizens need to address. Every year this problem is ignored another class of students drifts off into the world unprepared. This should be a top priority not only for our state school superintendent, but for our legislature and governor. This type of performance is inexcusable.
