Spy-WHCP Check in with Dorchester Schools Superintendent Jymil Thompson

November 4, 2024 by Spy & WHCP Community Radio

Share

The Spy and WHCP Community Radio continues this week with our ongoing series of conversations with Dorchester County Public Schools Superintendent Jymil Thompson. In his interview with the Spy’s Dave Wheelan, Dr. Thompson addresses some of the more sobering results of their most recent 2024 Maryland Comprehensive Assessment, including data that showed that the school system’s high school English performance with 10th graders achieved the lowest proficiency rate in the state at only 30.6%.

Dr. Thompson also discusses more notable improvements, such as third-grade and sixth-grade math and middle-school algebra. The district also improved its ranking in fifth-grade science proficiency, moving from 22nd to 20th in Maryland. He also talks about the early results of Dorchester’s experiment to limit the use of cell phones in the classroom.

This video is approximately 19 minutes in length.
