See new No. 1 in Bucks County big-school high school football rankings

Well, we'll keep trying. The last time we did the Bucks County area big-school football rankings two weeks ago, we trumpeted the fact that we had the same No. 1 team, Pennridge, in back-to-back rankings for the first time all season. Now, again, we don't. The Rams lost for the first time last week, 21-14, to surging Central Bucks South . So, does that put the Titans on top of our list? No? It's 9-1 Central Bucks West , who beat the Titans when they played, taking over as our top dog. (Whether the Bucks want this designation after we've had so many No. 1s come and go is another story). Regardless, we head to the postseason with a reshuffled rankings (for teams in Class 4A, 5A and 6A), but it kind of makes it fun (I guess). Our small-school rankings , for teams in Class 3A, 2A and A, will be out next week. Let's go: 1. Central Bucks West (9-1) Since losing to Pennridge 14-7 in the final seconds of their Week Four matchup, the Bucks have outscored their last six opponents (including CB South, CB East and North Penn), 233-68, or an average of 39-11 per game.

Philadelphia state test scores are months late. Now state officials want to change the cut scores.

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Pennsylvania state officials have proposed changing how they score students’ performance on state math and reading tests, making it easier for students to be considered “advanced.” The proposal , which Pennsylvania Department of Education officials shared with the state’s Board of Education Thursday, would have implications for how the state measures student achievement and schools’ success, and would apply to tests students took months ago. It comes after months of uncertainty over delayed test results in Philadelphia, where families and teachers have repeatedly asked officials to release the scores they usually get in August. State officials acknowledged the department’s cut score review contributed to the wait. “This delayed reporting. It’s not great timing,” Brian Campbell, director of the Department of Education’s bureau of curriculum, assessment, and instruction, told board members Thursday. But he said the state was overdue in updating score thresholds set more than a decade ago, and this would create “a new baseline.” Students take state tests every spring to evaluate whether
