Subclaims¶

q2 i? Elementary cohort achievement was consistently higher than the state average in four of nine MiC districts (Garden Grove, Elk Grove, Long Beach, and San Francisco) and consistently lower in four others (Dinuba, Oakland, Oceanside, and Santa Ana). → Perry 2019

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Student-level cohort analysis (Table 4) following individual students across grades 3–5 in nine MiC districts shows scale-score gains generally reflecting the statewide growth pattern; the authors suggest stronger 2015 baseline performance may reflect pre-baseline conceptual-mathematics efforts.

"Student achievement for the elementary school cohort across 2015–2017 was consistently higher than the state average in four of nine districts (Garden Grove, Elk Grove, Long Beach, and San Francisco)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• MiC district achievement on the CAASPP in mathematics generally followed the same statewide pattern from 2015 to 2018, with MiC districts slightly more homogeneous than non-selected districts — related
• Statewide California mathematics achievement on the CAASPP was mostly stagnant from 2015 to 2018 and lagged behind English language arts gains — related
• English learners in nearly all MiC districts showed stronger annual CAASPP mathematics gains than their statewide peers from 2015 to 2017 despite remaining mostly at the lowest achievement level — related
• Statewide mathematics achievement gaps between English learners and English speakers increased from 2015 to 2017, a pattern evident in all but one MiC district — related
• Long Beach schools with assigned math coaches showed markedly and disproportionately rising CAASPP scores, though causation could not be tied to coaching — related
• Elementary schools in Math in Common districts exceeded predicted CAASPP mathematics performance at significantly higher rates than other California schools between 2016 and 2018 — related
• PPE schools showed larger percentage increases in proficient students than non-PPE schools on statewide ELA and mathematics assessments, 2015–2017 — related
• Gateway middle and high school students met or exceeded state standards at higher rates than students statewide on CAASPP tests in most years and subjects — related
• The lowest-performing MiC elementary schools made increasingly greater progress beyond prediction as CCSS-M implementation deepened from 2016 to 2018 — related
