Local schools anticipate students will not perform as well as usual in state testing due to the COVID-19 pandemic’s weighty strain on education.
Buncombe County Schools Director of Testing Steve Earwood said because “many students have had their education disrupted,” the district is preparing for lower test scores.
“The results may be lower than they would have been in a normal year, but it will be reflective of the learning that has taken place,” Earwood said. “We may find that the students will do much better than we think they will. We don’t know which is why we need the assessments to accurately gauge the impact COVID has had on the education of our students.”
