13 Baltimore High Schools Have Zero Students That Are Proficient In Math

Tyler Durden's picture

For the past several weeks, one Fox affiliate in Baltimore has been publishing some staggering stories about the Baltimore public school system under an investigative series called “Project Baltimore.”  Just a few weeks ago we noted one of those stories in which an undercover teacher admitted that public schools routinely pass kids that never even bother to show up for class a single day during the school year.

Now, a stunning new installment of the Project Baltimore series from Fox 45 reveals that 13 public high schools sprinkled around Baltimore, of the city’s 39 total, had exactly 0 kids that tested proficient in math.

An alarming discovery coming out of City Schools. Project Baltimore analyzed 2017 state testing data and found one-third of High Schools in Baltimore, last year, had zero students proficient in math.

 

Project Baltimore analyzed 2017 state test scores released this fall. We paged through 16,000 lines of data and uncovered this: Of Baltimore City’s 39 High Schools, 13 had zero students proficient in math.

 

  • Achievement Academy
  • Carver Vocational-Technical High
  • Coppin Academy
  • Excel Acadamy @ Francis M. Wood High
  • Forest Park High
  • Frederick Douglass High
  • Independence School Local 1
  • Knowledge and Success Academy
  • New Era Academy
  • New Hope Academy
  • Northwestern High
  • Patterson High
  • The Reach! Partnership School

Meanwhile, digging a bit deeper, Fox 45 also found that of the 3,804 students in Baltimore’s worst 19 high schools, only 14 of them, or less than 1%, were proficient in math.

Digging further, we found another six high schools where one percent tested proficient. Add it up – in half the high schools in Baltimore City, 3804 students took the state test, 14 were proficient in math.

 

  • Ben Franklin H.S. at Masonville Cove
  • ConneXions: Community Based Arts SchoolDigital Harbor High School
  • Edmondson-Westside High
  • Renaissance Academy
  • Vivien T. Thomas Medical Arts Academy

Not sursprisingly, only one Baltimore school replied to Fox 45 with a generic comment suggesting that improvement is difficult and “will take time.”  That said, why do we suspect that ‘improvement’ will also take just a little more taxpayer money despite the fact that Baltimore already spends $16,000 per year per student…which, mind you, is more than many private schools that deliver far better results.

With these eye-opening results, Project Baltimore reached to North Avenue. But no one inside the building would sit down to answer our questions. Instead, we got a statement. Concerning our investigation, it read, “These results underscore the urgency of the work we are now pursuing. We must do more to meet the needs of all our students.”

 

That work, according to the statement, involves a new math curriculum started this year, enhanced teacher development and expanded partnerships to provide opportunities for students.

 

The statement concludes, “There is no simple answer that will close the achievement gap for Baltimore’s students. Though we all want to see results quickly, the work is hard and will take time.”

Of course, we’re almost certain that these poor results have absolutely nothing to do with Baltimore’s stellar, unionized teachers and administrators who will undoubtedly get to maintain their jobs and exorbitant public pensions despite the complete failure of their students.

MATH IS THE SOLUTION

“Baltimore already spends $16,000 per year per student…which, mind you, is more than many private schools that deliver far better results.”. First, they don’t spend $16,000 per student. You arrived at that figure by taking the total budget & dividing it by the number of students in system. Since all students are not receiving the same services, this is an overly simplistic approach. Second, the private schools are not offering the more expensive services like special education, autism spectrum, lead paint kids, etc. It’s a very complicated problem, and using it to advance your political agenda will not help.

OK Marsh Rabbit: According to estimates by The National Institute for Literacy, roughly 47 percent of adults in Detroit, Michigan — 200,000 total — are “functionally illiterate,” meaning they have trouble with reading, speaking, writing and computational skills. Not only that – most graduated from HS.

Average Negro IQ is 85.

What kind of crap is that? Of course you arrive at the price per student by dividing the money spent by the number of students. Nobody said the money was allocated exactly evenly. It’s not a complicated problem at all. Make public education about teaching kids, not employing illiterate but over credentialed women and minorities who clearly aren’t getting the job done, despite racking up staggering expenses.

starfcker

Marshrabbit. Do the math. Or have someone smarter explain it to you. Let’s say you have 25 kids in a class. At 16 grand each, that’s $400,000. per classroom per year. Let’s say you pay the dumb black female teacher who didn’t get a single kid up to speed on math $100,000 dollars a year. Where did the other 300 grand go? That’s a ton of money, per classroom, per year spent to accomplish nothing.

I’ve hardly met any black female teachers. But the black female and male teachers I’ve met got the kids in line. Not coincidentally, they were more conservative, religious, came from 2 parent homes, and 9/10 of the males were former military.

They had more skin in the game because it was their people sitting in those seats. These kids need more teachers of their own race. Teachers are 1 of the areas where diversity helps when you have a diverse school population. Hispanic teachers taught me tricks of the trade when I had mostly hispanic students that I wouldn’t have known otherwise.

Kids need to be taught self-discipline. Without it, no 1 can learn. I’m seeing these bad traits filtering down to white students in increasing numbers, especially in areas where there’s extreme poverty and “white people’s crack” AKA meth fucking up families.

I can also say with a very high confidence that these very same students that are not ” proficient” at maffs know exactly how to either calculate market price per gram, grams per ounce, McDonalds meal per month, and/or thousands of dollars per year per child.

Maybe even more important – not maybe, just more important – is the percentage of the students coming from single mother households, or worse yet, abandoned by single mother and raised by elderly grandmother households.

I see it every day in my kids’ school. What separates the good students from the bad is generally not race so much as whether they come from intact families. Inevitably, the “problem children” come not from a nuclear family, or even a once or semi-nuclear one, but from an unwed mother + babydaddy situation.

Remember , the Baltimore City School system was the number one public school system in the country . The cities population was predominantly white and other school systems copied the curriculum . Fast forward after billons spent to elivate the population that flooded the city after the white flight to the surrounding suburbs obviously money is not the issue . Heaven forbid it’s not the black race and now Hispanics responsible for such poor results . It couldn’t be the majority of the student population have an IQ 10 points above mental retardation is considered . It couldn’t be that teachers are threatened to pass students because the federal money only comes with proper graduation rates regardless of the ability of the student to read or write . It couldn’t be that the school system has more $100 K per year administrators than any other system of its size in the country . This issue is leaching out to the surrounding counties . Baltimore County had a Black head of the department of education . He spoke at a graduation for a county high school and his opening statement speaks volumes . “Now When Youall leave up outta here “ ! In the fabled words of Louise Jefferson , Nigger Please !
Let’s not forget the one black mayor of the city that spent gift cards on herself for Christmas . Cards that were donated for poor children . Her excuse was like Prissey in Gone With The Wind , I zz don’t no nothin bout dem cards ! She resigned just in time to prevent losing her $80K per year pension . Now the current mayor explains we are not a sanctuary city we are a welcoming city as MS13 continues to gain a foot hold in the city and around the state . Yes Yes Black Lives Matter , ya sure ok !

So what’s your problem? Are you denying that blacks have IQs 1-2 standard deviations below whites and Asians? Couple that with the teacher’s unions and the PC crap running rampant in our society and what did you expect?

The simple fact is that our races are different and expecting them to strive in a civil society will never come to pass. There are millions of good, decent blacks but that leaves 38 million niggers who would just as soon light you up then spit.

I know mine and it’s pretty good by 1960’s standards, scary good in today’s world and yet I choose to work with my hands. What you do with your God given gifts is up to each person, pretending that these gifts are without meaning is a deliberate choice as well.

IQ seems to be a fair measure of the ability to solve problems and recognize patterns and I haven’t looked it up, that was just a guess. They appear to be weighted in the direction of logical thought process rather than emotional ones. Saying that IQ is meaningless is like saying health, beauty, and fitness are meaningless measures. They might not mean everything, but they certainly mean something.

Here’s a pattern I recognize.

Denial of the importance of IQ always seems to be associated with someone trying to make excuses for poor performance linked with IQ.

See what I did there?

Do you think all the misbehavior / crime / ignorance / not working / having multiple children out of wedlock / relying on entitlements your entire life / lack of learning reading and maff / the large black prison population / the 600 murders in Chicago – do you think this is coincidence? A large percentage of the black race are not fit to live in the First World.

This has nothing to do with slavery, or white privilege. We taxpayers are the victims. We have to pay for extra prisons / police / courts / SNAP / section 8 / all meals free at school. We are the slaves.

These same problems are growing among the white population as the middle class and family unit is disintegrating.

I know affluent whites with super smart kids. I know poor whites with super smart kids, except those kids tend not excel because they’re not given the same chances &/or encouragement. They aren’t nurtured. Same with minority kids and it’s to our detriment as who knows, 1 of them could’ve been the discoverer of some new tech that transforms the world.

But, as 1 smart student told me, “Yeah, then he’s kidnapped by The Deep State & disappears or has a mysterious accident!” I had 1 smart student say, “Ron Paul will never be President because he’s too smart. They’ll never let someone like him in office.”

Actually, I’m an attorney, but I’ve visited Baltimore City Schools many times to meet clients and teachers. The account Boat Guy alluded to (“Remember the city school that locks it’s office during class change because it’s not safe to be in the Hall “) is true. No one can quote me saying there aren’t problems in the city schools. There are, and they are complicated. Anyone offering simple solutions is speaking in platitudes or hasn’t really looked at the problems. The reality is this situation is not going away. We can’t roll back time and fix what we should or shouldn’t have done. And the students currently in troubled school systems all over the country are young; they will be with us for a long time. It behooves us to take effective, corrective action. We can’t fix the past, but we can fix the future. Your great-grandchildren will appreciate it.

What’s complicated about accountability? If a large swath of schools are failing isn’t time for new management? The one thing that isn’t complicated is the Math. Baltimore spends far too much for very poor results. This is the same school system that hired Deray Mckesson (Director of Human Capital) at $167,000 per year. How many of these jobs are there at a school system of 83,000.

P.S Having zero students proficient in Math makes you wonder if they are actually in school. I’m sure there are significant budgetary implications if the school population shrinks by another 10% .

Tom S.
Tom S.

Yep. Can’t speak for anyone else here, but I have read it. All it took was a little time having to deal with the bullshit processes they were trying to use to teach math to get me curious enough to research it and read the standards. What I found was that the standards were quite innocuous and reasonable.

What is at issue here, I believe, is not the standards, so much as the bizarre methodologies that the educational establishment is using to try to implement (or rather meet) those standards. As a Professional Land Surveyor with 20+ years of experience in the surveying / civil engineering field, and as an adjunct professor teaching in those same fields of study, I feel like I can speak with some authority on mathematics instruction. Based on that, I can tell you that the methods and processes my children bring home are often unnecessarily complicated, confusing, and counterproductive.

If the goal of the “professional educators”* who came up with that crap was actually to achieve proficiency, they missed the mark by miles. In fact, as I give them credit for being intelligent, I am more inclined to believe that they weren’t so much concerned with teach kids so much as impressing their own peers in acedemia. Given the evidence available, it is the only logical conclusion.

* The term “professional educator” in this context is not the front-line teachers, so much as the PhD’s who occupy the prestigious positions in universities, but could not actually teach a toddler how to tie a shoe if their life depended on it.

Having ZERO students proficient in math is not simply an IQ thing. It doesn’t matter how ugly an IQ bell curve looks, SOMEONE has plenty of IQ to pass high school math. This is failure on so many levels. It starts at home. Someone above asked how many of these kids came from single parent households? I think we all know the answer and it is a dismally small number.

This is an epic cultural failure. These kids (and the teachers) as well have no hope, no drive and no idea (to borrow form Sowell) no idea what thinking is. They exist in a nihilistic spiral and can never get out of it because they have no way to even imagine the concept.

Ultimately, as usual, it circles back to the State, who has fucked blacks in this country with vigor for generations, mostly by giving them exactly what they thought they wanted. There’s a lesson in there somewhere.

hardscrabble farmer

I think what you meant was that rather than “simply an IQ thing” was “not only an IQ thing” and on that we’d probably all be in agreement. The problem is that is exactly where it starts. Someone who has a very low capacity for logical thought processes is going to find it extremely difficult to grasp those processes regardless of the kind of family they may have or the amount of financial resources directed at that particular student. Like most problems there are levels of complexity, but in order to solve them it is always the prudent course to begin with the obvious.

I was headed in a more nature vs. nurture thing and I tend toward nurture being by far the largest factor. I am watching my young daughter learn and it is an amazing process and so much from the ground up (ie she’s now learning her words, but first she has to understand what words ARE). As you know better than I, it is a long, difficult process to raise children that not only CAN learn (more nature), but WANT to learn (almost all nurture). These kids have NO interest in learning, so it is moot whether they can or not.

I attended a school for gifted children for most of elementary school (a Montessori school before that). I had a great friend who was black that is now a doctor and a dentist and was extremely bright. There were several other black kids who also attended this school. All quite bright. They ALL came from two-parent households in which both parents were regularly in attendance at school events, clearly had very high expectations for their children, and care very much about education and personal achievement. While I won’t debate IQ statistics from various countries, etc. I can say from my own experience that the desire to learn and the ability to learn (a better definition of IQ from my own personal experience) is something that can be developed. It begins at birth with the parents, what the child is exposed to (my parents had flash cards for basic math that I began using at a very early age), and the culture of learning that is reinforced in every moment of a child’s development. While I have no doubt that there are innate differences between individuals (indeed, we are NOT all equal), I refuse to believe that IQ is as much influenced by racial genetics as it is by parental commitment to the sacred responsibility they should ALL show towards the education of their children. That being said, hand anything important over to the government and they are guaranteed to fuck it up royally – and that includes education. And as I do NOT believe that the goal of government monopoly education is to actually create educated, independently thinking, creatively thinking individuals, there is simply NO WAY that goal will EVER be achieved through government-controlled schools, regardless of the IQs input into the system.
