2. Jeffco exceeded state percent met/exceeded expectations in English Language Arts

3. And in Math (except *8th grade anomaly)
*Approximately one-third of Jeffco eighth grade students are included in CMAS Algebra I and Geometry assessment results instead of the standard grade 8 math assessment, so state comparisons are not equivalent for the single assessment (grade 8 CMAS Math) in which Jeffco did not exceed state performance.
**Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 results are reflective of all students who took these assessments  regardless of grade level (e.g. Geometry results include students in grades 8 and 9).

The handout on your seat displays some of Jeffco’s celebrations in a visual that can be more easily understood by our community stakeholders. This chart shows the 1-year difference (up or down) for the percent of students meeting or exceeding CMAS expectations. As you can see, most grade levels showed gains compared to the prior year’s performance.

9. EBRW: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
For the first year of Colorado SAT as the state’s 11 grade college entrance test, about 7 in 10 of our 11th graders are “college ready” in Reading/Writing and about half in Math, according to College Board.
EBRW: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
According to College Board, SAT college and career readiness indicates a 75% likelihood of achieving at least a C in related first-semester, credit-bearing college courses.
