Reply to comment by Matt3989 in 23 Baltimore schools have zero students proficient in math, per state test results by bobbyw24

Not being a troll just curious after reading the thread what your point is. Do you think if Fox linked to whatever data they used it would show that the kids are proficient in math?

I think that they are misrepresenting whatever data they have.

MCAP has Math testing for grades 1-8, Algebra 1, 2, and Geometry.

So I'd be interested to know what criteria they're using to measure High school and Elementary school proficiency. This strikes me as nothing more than another 'Project Baltimore' gotcha piece to appeal to their base (majority of whom probably aren't proficient enough in math to grasp statistics).

If it's not? Why aren't they providing the data and methodology.
