Preliminary math, reading scores still not released...

But districts, including Guilford County Schools, must submit their scores to the Department of Public Instruction by Friday. So I hope to be able to get them then.

To date, I am aware of only Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools releasing their preliminary EOC/EOG test scores (not including Extend 1 and 2 tests) last month.

Gongshu Zhang of Guilford County Schools said he hopes to submit the data to DPI tomorrow and then start analyzing the numbers next week (official AYP results should be ready in mid-August). He said districts have experienced a problem analyzing/submitting data because of a DPI software glitch. I am trying to clarify this glitch with someone from the state department.

I did call around some other school systems. Cumberland, Forsyth and Rockingham have not yet released their preliminary scores. Rockingham and Cumberland officials said their high school scores would not be ready by Friday because of the glitch. I'm not sure yet what Wake Public Schools has done.

I say all this to let you know that I'm working on getting the numbers. I might get some Friday, but I have been requesting the numbers for a month now so don't be surprised if you're still waiting on Monday.
