Montgomery County schools officials plan to survey students taking
high school final exams in math next week about how they prepare for the
biggest test of the semester, as school leaders explore the causes of steep failure rates on the countywide tests.
Schools officials say they still have no clear answers for why a
majority of 30,000 high school students in the high-performing district
failed their finals in key math courses last year. The low grades came to public attention as data about the tests circulated last spring, underscoring a problem that had gone on for years.
A work group studying the issue will make recommendations by March, said
Erick J. Lang, associate superintendent for curriculum and
instructional programs. A report was expected in November, but the issue
has not been easy to unravel, he said.
