The Maryland State Department of Education recently released Baltimore students' 2022 test results, which revealed that 93% of third- through eighth-graders tested below their grade level in math, WBFF-TV reported. After analyzing the results, the local news outlet found 23 city schools where not a single student tested proficient in math.
The nearly two dozen schools with abysmal test scores included 10 high schools, eight elementary schools, three middle and high schools, and two elementary and middle schools. In total, 2,000 students at those learning institutions took the math assessment, and zero scored at grade level.
WBFF also revealed that another 20 Baltimore City Schools had just one or two students with grade-level math scores. The district comprises a total of 150 schools.
The city of Baltimore's Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program test results were the lowest in the state. Only 7% of third- through eighth-grade students scored proficient in math. In addition, less than 15% of students in four additional Maryland cities scored proficient.
"My immediate reaction is, take your kids out of these schools," said Jovani Patterson, a city resident who filed a lawsuit against Baltimore City Schools last year alleging the district failed to educate students and thereby misused taxpayer dollars.
"We, the taxpayer, are funding our own demise," Patterson told WBFF. "It just sounds like these schools, now, have turned into essentially babysitters with no accountability."
Patterson argued that city schools failed to prepare students for real-world situations.

To educators, “proficient” doesn’t mean “proficient.” It merely means “passing” — it is the lowest threshold for meeting curricular standards.
The immediate step below “proficiency” is that vile word educators no longer use, especially regarding themselves, “failure.”
Math is racist!.......................
Gosh that’s because math is racist!
At least they’ve been able to achieve a perfect record.
Jus’ keepin’ it real...
We need to double down and throw more money at the problem!
;-)
Schools failed the students.
Can’t make this stuff up.
In total, 2,000 students at those learning institutions took the math assessment, and zero scored at grade level.
What percentage is that?...
Stories like this are so confusing for simple-minded media consumers like me
Am I supposed to feel sorry for black children?
What about their families “who only demand a decent education?”
But what about public school teachers? We know they are heroes - permanently underfunded and struggling against the ills that society throws at them?
Or the Democrat-Progressive politicians? Who always care so much for progressive principles, people’s rights and education?
Racist!
Racist!
Racist!
A better test is how easy is it to recognize the number 7, so that targeting convenience stores to rob is facilitated...
The answer is obvious....... they need more $$$$$$$$$$$$$
I’m sure their mamma’s (don’t even ask about fathers) are just as dumb, so they get no help at home.
Indeed so no problem right?
“”We, the taxpayer, are funding our own demise,” Patterson told WBFF.”
I wish more people understood this problem.
Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson— racism didn’t keep them down.
We keep following the left and people will end up like the characters in the movie: The Book of Eli.
So 23 out of 150 total districts have no Asian kids?
What about critical race theory?
