We are aware of 2 versions of the Math 1 data sets 3

published by WCPSS to the public in the past year

Data set V1 - November 2018
Scope: High school only, no
banked scores
• Published by WCPSS in November 2018 SAC meeting, showing grade level proficiency
(GLP) and college/career readiness (CCR) gains from 2016-2017 to 2017-2018 (year 1 of
MVP in WCPSS)
• Internally calculated by WCPSS
• Tweeted by MVP in Nov 2018
• Quoted verbally and in emails to parents complaining about MVP
• Cited in the FAQ provided to Green Hope
• Cited in the response to 16 parents whose MVP complaints were denied
• Cited indirectly by MVP in lawsuit against WCPSS parent Blain Dillard
• Cited indirectly by MVP in public statement about Dillard and lawsuit
• Cited indirectly by N&O repeating WCPSS success claims
• Possibly seen by other NC counties choosing MVP
• Dr. Tillery provided prior 2 years context upon public records request
• Tweet removed by MVP upon request of WCPSS (upon request of parents)
• NOT updated or referenced in 9/17/19 Accountability update, except that the 2018 and
2019 GLP numbers were given on a separate chart (page 15).

Data set V2 - September 2019 NCDPI + Data set V1

Scope: • Presented at 9/17 BoE meeting Accountability update September 2019
(page 14)
Middle & • Shows only grade level proficiency (GLP) trends from
2013 to 2019 (no CCR)
high • Internally calculated by WCPSS
schools, • Not quoted in MVP or WCPSS communications about
MVP success
no • Question: In November 2018, why was this data not
used instead of the V1 data?
banked • Hypothesis: See the 2017 vs 2018 results. Flat. The
scores “high school–only” results told a more compelling
story – modest gains.

November 2018 include middle school data, which WCPSS chose not include when the original
graphic on the left was produced to portray year 1 Math 1 increases.
