IT’S TAKEN MONTHS … BUT THE NEW MEXICO PUBLIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT FRIDAY WILL FINALLY RELEASE THE SCORES FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL PARCC TESTS. STUDENTS TOOK THE TEST SEVEN MONTHS AGO. THE SCORES WILL BE RELEASED AT 3PM.
THE PARCC TEST HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY CRITICIZED AND PROTESTED BY NOT ONLY STUDENTS AND PARENTS … BUT TEACHERS AS WELL. THEY SAY IT DOESN’T REALLY SHOW WHAT STUDENTS HAVE LEARNED IN CLASS. AND SKANDERA HAS SAID TO EXPECT LOWER SCORES FOR NOW.
