[quote=Anonymous]I have had two kids in upper elementary: one of them was in middle.  They have both thrived academically.  You’ve seen the math PARCC scores which are fantastic, and the 3rd and 4th math teachers were really great.  The 3rd grade math teacher was promoted and now is responsible for math instruction at the school.

For ELA the school changed its curriculum to better fit the PARCC test.  This paid off for the 4th graders as the numbers went up from previous year when they were third, but they still have work to do.  For example, they’ve spent more time on reading/analyzing/writing short passages.

CMI loses many families in 5th grade to other charters with high school option (Latin, Basis etc) and as a result the middle school is filled with brand new kids with academic and other issues.  I don’t know how they fix this.  I’ve talked to many, many parents who left, and they ALL say that their kid is thriving academically in their middle school.  This is true for my oldest who LOVES their new middle school and is excelling.  I give CMI full credit for this.

My oldest’s 3rd grade ELA PARCC score wasn’t great but they scored well on other ELA standardized tests that year.  Their 4th grade ELA PARCC was much better.

I highly recommend CMI for elementary, but their middle continues to struggle.  I hope they figure things out.
