The secondary question here is why does the average number of students at goal for the subjects tested drop from roughly 80% in 7th and 8th grades down to 54% in the second year of high school at the Academy?
The answer comes from ‘Sols’: “The standard for the CAPT is much different than the CMT, the levels are set higher.. and the whole state dropped.”
