DC Public Charter Schools Show Significant Achievement in PARCC Assessment

Scores Show Many Students on Target for College and Readiness
WASHINGTON, DC - Public charter school students in Washington, DC scored at or above the District average in the new PARCC assessment, according to data released today by Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE).
 
The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness in College and Careers (PARCC) outlines how students in grades 3 through 8 perform in two different assessments -- English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. DC had several public charter schools that showed particularly strong results.
 
“We’re proud of the tremendous work that public charter schools are doing in the District,” said Scott Pearson, Executive Director of the DC Public Charter School Board. “By teaching the common core state standards over the last 5 years, our schools are increasing the number of students who will be college and workforce ready when they graduate.”
 
All Students:  By All-District and Wards
Overall, DC public charter students scored at and above the District average on ELA and Math (see chart 1 below). For ELA and Math, 25% and 26%, respectively, of public charter school students met or exceeded expectations (scoring 4 or 5) while 52% and 54%, respectively, approached, met or exceeded expectations (scoring 3, 4 or 5).
 
Public charter school students from all eight wards met or exceeded expectations. This includes students living in Ward 7 where 49% and 54% of the students approached, met or exceeded expectations on ELA and Math, respectively. In addition, students living in Ward 8, where 44% and 49% of the students approached, met or exceeded expectations, respectively. The ward-by-ward breakdown can be found here.
