Another interesting way to slice the data is to look at the percent of schools in various categories making gains when compared to a statewide control group. The chart on the left in Table 4E below shows average statewide gains from 2010 to 2011 in the “all students” category and by subgroups. Against this control group, schools that had gains in reading and math from 2010 to 2011 that exceeded the statewide control group gains in the “all students” category and in each subgroup are considered “making progress.” Among (1) Schools in Federal Improvement Status, (2) All Non-Charter Schools, and (3) Charter Schools, the charter school group had the highest percentage of schools making progress in reading, and slightly exceeded the percentage of All Non-Charter Schools making progress in math.
READING
• Schools in Federal Improvement Status: 1011 schools with 2010 and 2011 data/222 schools making progress = 22% of Schools in Federal Improvement Status made progress from 2010 in “all students” group and each subgroup
• Non-Charter Schools: 3,058 schools with 2010 and 2011 data/579 schools making progress = 18.9% of Non-Charter Schools made progress from 2010 in “all students” group and each subgroup.
• Charter Schools: 34 schools with 2010 and 2011 data/10 schools making progress = 29.4% of Charter Schools made progress from 2010 in “all students” group and each subgroup.
MATH
• Schools in Federal Improvement Status: 1011 schools with 2010 and 2011 data/251 schools making progress = 24.8% of Schools in Federal Improvement Status made progress from 2010 in “all students” group and each subgroup.
• Non-Charter Schools: 3058 schools with 2010 and 2011 data/618 schools making progress = 20.2% of Non-Charter Schools made progress from 2010 in “all students” group and each subgroup.
• Charter Schools: 34 schools with 2010 and 2011 data/7 schools making progress = 20.6% of Charter Schools made progress from 2010 in “all students” group and each subgroup.
