Very unfair to the students! Every student should have a re-score like some of the students benefited from in some of the Florida Districts. In my district, you can only retake the test if you score a 1 or 2. He can not retake the EOC for a higher grade. He happened to be in 8th grade, so I asked if he could retake the class with complete grade forgiveness. If at least My son has the pleasure of competing with them when applying to college.
I contacted 55 school districts of which 43 replied. These districts include: Escambia, Levy and St. These districts include: Baker, Hernando and Hillsborough. Hillsborough has different scales for different populations of students. Hernando uses a Theta score that I did not have access to when I called.
I did not contact every district, and I do apologize for that. This process was time consuming; however, I do feel that my findings are significant. There are at least 18 different methods of converting EOC scores. I realize that the Florida Department of Education does not provide guidance on how to convert these scores. A summary of methods is attached. Please excuse if the whole scale is not listed. Some districts told me what my son would have in their district, some explained their entire scale, and my questioning improved throughout the process.
I have contacted the Florida Department of Education twice to inform of this disparity; however, their only reply was a link to the statute and that I needed to contact my school district. Excerpt from my second email FL DOE: I am re-informing you that I have contacted 43 school districts and have been informed of at least 17 different methods that districts convert EOC scores.
Just because of where they live in Florida. Difference in average early career starting salary for FAU FAU is a wonderful school, just used for illustration graduate vs. Tough question…. After all, no child should be left behind. While I realize that every district believes that their method is the best or fairest, in the big picture and compared to other methods used in Florida, is it?
Thank you for your time! If you have any feedback, please email me. Catrina Sistrunk. I applaud the Florida Department of Education for getting rid of the Algebra 2 EOC, but it did not tell districts what to do with the scores for the spring…. There will be cohorts with the Algebra 2 EOC included in their final grade and some without. However, the changes you wish to see would need to come from state legislature.
Because our office does not introduce legislative changes, I suggest bringing your concerns to your state legislators. The following links, also provided in my previous message, will allow you to find the state representative and state senator for your district. I would recommend that everyone following this blog to do the same. Are you going through your local senator to get a bill passed? If the test was eliminated, and is not a requirement, then the EOC test grade should be eliminated before graduation.
One of these SPPs has to be used; the old one that allows several retakes or the new one that eliminates the test therefore, eliminate the prior score. So far, the response is that they feel their process is fair and equitable. I will file an appeal. Sorry for the late reply. We contacted district accountability offices to learn the calculation.
