Aggregated comparison of statewide assessment proficiency in schools with leaders enrolled in PPE versus non-PPE schools, 2015–2017, reported alongside Figure 1. The ELA proficiency percentage rose "39 percent during this period, compared to 4 percent" at non-PPE schools. No test statistics or effect sizes are printed.

"The percentage of students at PPE schools who tested proficient on the statewide English language arts assessment rose 39 percent during this period, compared to 4 percent for students at non-PPE schools."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Statewide California mathematics achievement on the CAASPP was mostly stagnant from 2015 to 2018 and lagged behind English language arts gains — related
• 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
• Student cohorts in several MiC districts showed consistently higher mathematics achievement than the statewide average from 2015 to 2017, with wide district variability — related
• MiC middle schools outperformed prediction in 2016 and 2017 but the advantage faded by 2018, while non-selected comparison districts improved significantly — 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
