q2 i? Most individual CHSRI schools had graduation rates greater than or about equal to predicted values based on incoming student characteristics; by the third cohort, all but two schools graduated at least as many students as schools serving similar students. → Susan Sporte 2010

q2 · i? · associational · r2

School-level analysis of the 2004-05 cohort (15 CHSRI schools) comparing each school's graduation rate to predicted values, with schools more than about two standard deviations from predicted classified as better or worse than expected. Five schools were significantly higher than predicted; two redesigned schools were significantly lower.

"the overall positive difference in graduation rates across CHSRI schools is not limited to a few schools; by the third cohort, all but two schools had graduation rates that were at least as high as schools serving similar students"

• Outcome differences between CHSRI new-start and redesigned schools were not statistically significant after accounting for incoming student differences — related
• Most CPS charter high schools enrolled students with eighth-grade test scores similar to or lower than their neighborhood feeder pools but with higher eighth-grade attendance — related
• Graduation rates differ largely across Chicago schools, with many new charter and magnet schools and several neighborhood high schools showing exceptionally high rates beyond what incoming freshman characteristics would predict — related
