Changes for 2013-14• Inclusion of 100 points for US History in High Schools;

• New Raised Cut Scores in High Schools;

• Elementary students who were being instructed  under two curriculums (New Florida Standards/Common Core  and NGSSS);

• Additional grade levels  who completed the FCAT on the computer  (Grade 6 Math, Grade 8 Reading)  and 

• Writing results that used, for the second year in a row,  the new scoring rubric  -  yet scores were flat 

12

The Bottom LineThe changes in the high school cut scores on the

accountability system may result in a decline in school performance grades even though students in M-DCPS demonstrated substantial increases in

student achievement.
