In 2011, Dekalb County test scores for the Math 1 and 2 EOCT exams were abysmal. Following, find a chart comparing % failure rate of students in Dekalb County schools [Park View HS Gwinnett is included for comparison] . In other words, the below chart displays % of students who failed the Math EOCT in 2011.
We encourage parents to ensure that kids use some portion of the summer to review Math fundamentals in preparation for their next Math class. Following are links we recommend:-
1 - http://www.khanacademy.com
2- http://youtube.com (search for Patrickjmt videos)
3- http://mathtv.com
There are hundreds [countlesss] other sources, but the above links were recommended by a few parents whose children scored in the top 10% on the EOCT exams.
This South Dekalb School Watch blog was started in July 2012 by a small group of concerned parents who believe that driving across town to find "good schools" is demeaning and unconscionable. All children in Dekalb county deserve a quality education and all of our actions and activities will drive towards this goal. We intend to hold the school board, DCSS administration, school administration and parents to the very highest of standards. We look forward to your participation.
