Schools across Colorado are getting results from a new statewide test designed to look at how well students read, write, and solve math problems. We have a quick look results for the Roaring Fork School District.
Students took the The PARCC test last spring and the latest numbers for districts and individual schools were released last Friday, December 11th. Results show 7th and 8th graders are generally doing better in math, especially students who’ve been struggling the most. Also, students learning English are more improved than in years past, though they’re still not on par with native english speakers at the same age. Nearly half of the school district’s students are learning English or only recently acquired those skills.
Since this is the first year of the new testing regime, education officials are taking the results with a grain of salt, saying it’s hard to compare them to scores from previous TCAP and CSAP assessments.
