q2 · i? · causal · r?

Comparative achievement analysis reported in the report's findings section, contrasting CCSPP Cohort 1 schools' post-pandemic recovery trajectory with that of comparable non-CCSPP schools serving similar student populations. No effect size is printed for this finding.

"While all high-need schools in LAUSD have made progress recovering from pandemic-era achievement lows, by the 2023–24 school year, CCSPP Cohort 1 community schools’ math and ELA scores exceeded their prepandemic achievement levels—an outcome not observed in comparable non-CCSPP schools."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• LAUSD CCSPP community schools reduced chronic absence by approximately 9% more and improved math proficiency by approximately 10% more than comparable non-CCSPP high-need schools — related
• CCSPP community schools improved math achievement by 0.06 standard deviations, roughly 43 additional days of learning — related
• ELA gains in CCSPP schools (0.05 SD) were not statistically significant overall but were significant for English learners and, at p < 0.10, for socioeconomically disadvantaged and Black students — related
• Placing a full cohort of 25 residents as co-teachers in one high-need elementary school coincided with schoolwide achievement gains in ELA and mathematics within one year. — related
• Los Padillas 3rd-graders in 2023–24 outperformed peers in other APS community schools in both ELA and math — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• After becoming community schools, 11 of 12 Lynwood elementary schools increased the percentage of students meeting or exceeding the ELA proficiency standard, and 10 did so in math. — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
