That change could make a difference as to whether thousands of third graders move on to the fourth grade
requires third graders to be reading on grade level before being promoted
State Superintendent Eric Mackey said he will recommend setting the score at 435 and that the board should revisit that score next summer.Mackey told AL.com the lower numerical score does not mean they’re setting a lower bar. The state adopted more rigorous standards in reading in 2021 which meantGov.
Vail-Smith said lowering the cut score is the same as lowering expectations. She said the current cut score of 452 is already too low and students that fall between the recommended 435 and the current score risk being sent to fourth grade without the support they would have received had they been retained.Mackey said the new cut score of 435 was recommended by a committee of educators and an advisory committee of statisticians and assessment specialists.
Mackey said one or two standard deviations help ensure children who might have just had a bad test day can move forward in school. But school board members saidthey’re equally concerned about putting a child in fourth grade who isn’t reading on grade level.
