Fewer elementary and middle school students in Montgomery County met state standards on math and reading tests this year than last, according to state data released today that show 61 schools need to improve. Among those are Neelsville Middle in Germantown and Forest Oak Middle in Gaithersburg, which have failed to meet state goals for four years and now face restructuring that could include the replacement of principals and teachers...
Note that the MCPS "official" quoted in this article is actually an outside consultant. Mr. Kress retired from MCPS a number of years ago and has apparently been brought back to consult. No mention of his return in Board of Education minutes. Where is the Superintendent? We still have one...
FYI: Forest Oak missed AYP due to special education. Remember when MCPS touted Forest Oak as an "hours based staffing pilot" school, and claimed that test scores had gone up, while WHOOPS, the scores for the pilot year hadn't been released yet?
The Office of Shared Accountability has promoted former community superintendent Adrian Talley to take over this department on July 1. After looking at the schools that did not make AYP and who the subsequent Community Superintendent was, Mr. Talley has the most schools that did not pass AYP. I am sure he will not be reprimanded on the performance of his schools since he will be taking over his new job. Other community superintendents and the number of schools (elementary and middle)in their area that did not make AYP: Bulsun-3 Hermann-4 Talley-8 Mills-5 Kimball-3 de los Santos-1
de los Santos is principal of White Oak. She is not a community supt. She's currently under Hermann until Hermann steps into her new position upon finding a replacement.
