SCORES Kids vs. CSAP

It has been a couple of months since all Colorado students participated in the much anticipated CSAP evaluation test.  However, we have yet to report on how the students at our schools performed, and how SCORES kids compared to their peers.  Below is a breakdown of the overall results from our eight schools.

One of our dedicated coaches, Chris Webb, examined how SCORES kids from four schools compared to the rest of their classmates, and found that the test scores of SCORES students, as an average, were higher in all four schools than the test scores of the rest of the student population.  The SCORES students scored an average of 24 points higher on the reading exam, and 14 points higher on the writing exam.  Here are some statistics from Eagleton Elementary specifically:

EAGLETON ELEMENTARY READING:

- Not a single student in the (Eagleton) Denver SCORES program tested unsatisfactory. All of them were judged partially proficient, proficient, or advanced.
- 29 out of the 32 kids in (Eagleton) SCORES improved their reading scores.
- 8 of the 32 kids moved from unsatisfactory to partially proficient/proficient.
- Average reading test score for those involved in (Eagleton) SCORES was 18 out of a possible 31 points (58%)
- Average reading test score for the rest of the school was 12 out of a possible 31 points (38%)
- Students who were in (Eagleton) SCORES showed a 20% improvement in their reading test scores vs. the rest of the school.

EAGLETON ELEMENTARY WRITING:

- 31 out of 32 kids in (Eagleton) SCORES were tested partially proficient/proficient in their writing. Only 1 student tested unsatisfactory.
- 24 out of 32 kids in (Eagleton) SCORES improved their writing scores.
- 8 of the 32 kids moved from unsatisfactory to partially proficient/proficient.
- Average writing test score for those involved in (Eagleton) SCORES was 13 out of a possible 21 points (62%)
- Average writing test score for the rest of the school was 9 out of a possible 21 points (43%)

Congrats to all of our SCORES students for the great improvement, and keep up the hard work!
