Parents fret over Montgomery schools' readiness plan

Montgomery County schools’ new blueprint for college readiness has some parents worried that both the top learners and those most struggling will suffer.

The plan, introduced earlier this year to much fanfare in the county, is called Seven Keys to College Readiness, and lists goals from passing Algebra II by the end of 11th grade to a score of 1650 on the SAT, or slightly better than the national average of about 1500.
