[quote=Anonymous]I think a little perspective on CMI's test scores would be helpful.

When CMI started, the current 5th-7th grades had only one class each with 13-15 kids.  7th grade expanded last year to add a second class and 5th and 6th grades added a second class this year.  Class sizes also increased at CMI last year to 20 kids per class.   Therefore, the majority of 5th-7th graders are brand new to CMI.  I wouldn't really expect great test scores under those circumstances.

For me, it's the current 3rd and 4th graders who will provide a better picture of how things are going at CMI.  These are the first grades that started in ECE and the first grades that started with two classes each.  3rd grade will test for the first time this year so we'll see how that goes, but last year's 3rd grade (current 4th grade) did pretty well on the PARCC.  Looking at the combined Math and ELA scores for 3rd grade charters, only three charters (all KIPPs) scored better than CMI.   There's a lot of chatter on this board about CMI's low test scores, but if last year is any indication, scores are on the upswing.
