12. Changes for
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 

13. The Bottom Line
The 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.
