MCAS Science Pass Rates<br />
LEP pass rates in Science were highest among tenth<br />
graders, but even <strong>for</strong> this group, only 59.2% of<br />
LEP students passed MCAS Science in SY2009.<br />
Science pass rates <strong>for</strong> LEP students at both grade<br />
levels were the lowest of all groups considered here<br />
(Table 35). But even though MCAS Science scores<br />
remained low through the period of study, there<br />
