Some Indianapolis families that use private school vouchers could still get a bill upwards of one thousand dollars to cover the remaining cost of their tuition.

The median gap between tuition for private schools within Indianapolis Public Schools borders this upcoming school year and the voucher amount is $1,694, according to a Chalkbeat analysis of tuition rates. The analysis uses the estimated $7,455 each student living within IPS boundaries will receive from the Indiana Choice Scholarship program, and includes five virtual schools.

Families could get the remaining cost covered through other means, such as discounts and scholarships. But the gap underscores that even as more voucher programs nationwide become universal, they don’t necessarily cover all the costs for families that use them. For the first time, Indiana’s vouchers will be available to all families in the upcoming school year, regardless of income.

Critics of the voucher program, which Indiana launched in 2011, argue that it’s deviated from its original purpose of helping low-income families leave struggling schools for a better education. Supporters argue the program helps give families more options and the freedom to choose a school that best fits their child.

The gap between the cost of tuition and the voucher amount does have an effect on educational opportunity, said Jon Valant, director of the Brown Center on Education Policy at the Brookings Institution, whose research has found that vouchers or voucher-like programs disproportionately benefit wealthier families in Indiana and other states.

“These programs often times don’t provide enough money for low-income families to afford the types of private education they might want,” Valant said. “For a lot of families, even a couple thousand dollars is a lot to cover in a year to actually bridge that gap.”

Private schools in the area said they bridge the gap for many families through scholarships or other structures that ease the tuition burden.

Chalkbeat’s analysis covers 21 of the 31 voucher-accepting schools in IPS borders that published their latest tuition rates or provided them to Chalkbeat. The remaining 10 schools did not respond to requests for that information. Not all private schools in the area accept vouchers.

Many Catholic schools also offer lower tuition rates for parishioners or families that are part of the archdiocese. Chalkbeat’s analysis used rates for non-church members.

It’s unclear whether the gap between vouchers and tuition for those Indianapolis-area schools has grown recently. But as Indiana’s nominal spending on vouchers increased from $15.5 million in 2011 to $497 million in 2024-25, the gap between per-student Choice Scholarship funding and average private school tuition per pupil also grew.

In 2016-17, the state reported that almost half of all voucher students had their full tuition and fee amounts covered by the voucher. By 2024-25, that figure had dropped to 28%.

For many schools, Chalkbeat’s analysis excludes additional fees — such as those for field trips or technology — which vouchers can also cover. It also excludes other financial aid that families can receive, such as scholarships offered by the school or discounts for enrolling more than one child.

Indiana Choice Scholarship funding is limited to up to 90% of the amount the public school district in which the student resides will receive that year in state tuition support per pupil. That means the voucher amount varies based on where a student lives.

Indiana’s voucher program was initially reserved for students in a household making no more than 150% of the amount needed to qualify for the federal free or reduced-price lunch program (in addition to other requirements). In 2011, that was about $60,000 for a family of four, Education Week reported at the time.

Over the next 15 years, lawmakers gradually expanded eligibility for vouchers. Beginning in 2023, for example, families earning up to 400% of the threshold to qualify for free or reduced-price lunch were eligible — meaning that in 2025-26, a family of four could earn up to $237,910 and still receive vouchers.

By 2024-25, over 76,000 students received Choice Scholarships, compared with just over 3,900 in 2011-12.

Within IPS borders, some private schools tap other financial resources so that families don’t pay the full remaining tuition amount, or offer sliding scales to reduce the tuition burden.

Providence Cristo Rey only admits families making up to 250% of the federal poverty guidelines — or a maximum of $80,375 for a family of four. The school is part of the Cristo Rey network, which offers private, Catholic education for underserved families.

The school’s tuition for 2026-27 is $27,900 — meaning the gap between tuition and the Choice Scholarship award for IPS students is over $20,000, the largest such figure in Chalkbeat’s analysis. But the school estimates family contributions will range from only $365 to $2,100. The rest is covered through various scholarships and corporate work-study funding for students.

The Oaks Academy, a network of schools founded in 1998 by a coalition of churches to provide a racially and socioeconomically diverse education, also has a sliding-scale tuition rate based on household size and local median income.

The network relies on funding from Indiana’s tax-credit program — in which individuals make donations to scholarship-granting organizations for private school tuition, in exchange for a tax credit — to fill in some of the gap left between the voucher and tuition cost, said Oaks Academy CEO Andrew Hart.

The voucher program has allowed the network to serve about 800 more students than it would have served otherwise, he said. When Oaks Academy began, the only tuition subsidies available for lower-income families were from philanthropy.

Only about 15% of families pay full tuition, Hart said, while 50% pay a “very small fraction” — some as low as $100 a month.

“Our families have benefited significantly [from] the voucher program,” Hart said. “And now of course starting this year, all of our families will benefit.”

IPS experiences biggest enrollment loss since pandemic, state records show

Indianapolis Public Schools experienced its greatest annual enrollment decline since the pandemic while charter school enrollment also dropped — trends that could signal fundamental challenges for both school types.

IPS enrollment dropped by 6% since last school year to 19,774 in 2025-26, while enrollment across both independent charters and charters in the district’s Innovation Network dropped nearly 3% from last year to just under 22,000 students, according to a Chalkbeat analysis of state enrollment data.

Overall, 41,663 students attend IPS or charter schools, with roughly 47% at IPS and about 53% at charters. (The analysis also includes charter schools just outside of IPS where a majority of students live in district borders.)

Across most Marion County school districts, there were also slight enrollment declines.

The enrollment dips come as schools across the country experience a continual post-COVID population drop that could stem from a number of factors, including declining birth rates, stricter immigration policy, and other school options. In Indianapolis, the declines could exacerbate a financial crunch schools are expecting through incoming property tax reforms estimated to cost school districts millions. In addition to property tax revenue, schools receive state funding that’s based on enrollment.

The declines also come with major changes on the horizon for Indianapolis public schools. Lawmakers are considering creating a new Indianapolis Public Education Corporation that would eventually own all school buildings and run transportation services, as well as levy and collect property taxes for schools and create an accountability system that includes closing low-performing schools.

“The reality facing public schools across the U.S. is that enrollment has been decreasing,” IPS said in a statement. “We will continue to thoughtfully navigate these shifts while also working hard to be the preferred choice for more families.”

In the charter sector, school mergers — which have occurred in recent years as schools have struggled with finances or enrollment — could be a solution if enrollment continues to decline.

“We do think that’s a really thoughtful strategy to both work to increase the number of kids that are attending higher quality operators, and to make sure that schools are operating as near to their capacity as possible,” said Brandon Brown, head of the Mind Trust nonprofit that has launched many of the city’s charter schools.

IPS enrollment drops by over 1,000 students

Enrollment at IPS schools declined by 1,281 students from last year to this year, the greatest drop since losing 2,681 students after the 2019-20 school year. These schools include traditional IPS schools and those in the Innovation Network that are not charter schools.

The decline mirrors broader demographic trends. State records show the number of students living in IPS attendance boundaries fell from 49,721 in October 2024 to 48,869 October 2025, a 1.7% drop. These figures exclude students attending private school without a state-funded voucher or those who are home-schooled.

A demographic report commissioned by the district and released in 2021 projected that enrollment in seventh and eighth grades, as well as the elementary school population, would decline.

But the district’s greatest declines occurred at the high school level, with high school enrollment dropping 9% to 5,115 across its four high schools and smaller high school programs. Ninth grade saw the highest percentage decrease at roughly 20%, or a loss of 281 students over last year.

Middle school enrollment dropped nearly 6% to 3,626.

Meanwhile, enrollment at independent charters dropped by 740 students — the largest year-over-year drop in at least seven years — while Innovation Network charters grew by 113 students.

(The analysis includes prekindergarten students in total counts, and excludes adult charter high schools and virtual or blended charter schools not affiliated with the Innovation Network.)

Across the nearly 60 charter schools, overall enrollment dropped from 22,516 to 21,889 — a loss of 627 students, or nearly 3%. These schools primarily lost students in the lower elementary grades.

But IPS noted that enrollment in its portfolio of schools — which include both traditional schools and those in the Innovation Network — has remained “remarkably stable.” That total figure dropped by roughly 4%, from over 32,000 students last year to under 31,000 this year.

The Mind Trust, meanwhile, noted that more students are attending autonomous schools — charters and Innovation Network schools, both charter and non-charter — than traditional district schools.

IPS, charter demographics remain largely unchanged

Racial and ethnic demographics have largely remained the same across district and charter schools.

Independent charters continue to have a higher proportion of Black students but a lower proportion of English language learners than IPS schools and charters in the Innovation Network.

Although immigration enforcement efforts have raised concerns about enrollment declines nationwide, the proportion of English language learners as a percentage of total enrollment has remained relatively stable.

The percentage of IPS students receiving free or reduced-price meals jumped from roughly 59% to nearly 68%, although both Innovation and independent charters continue to enroll a higher share of such students.

State data on enrollment levels of students with disabilities across the different school types is not yet available.

ILEARN scores improve slightly for Indianapolis Public Schools, charters

Morrise Harbour has a tough assignment: turn around a chronically underperforming Indianapolis school.

When he took over in 2022, just 4% of the students at Elder Diggs School 42 achieved proficiency in English on the state ILEARN test, and just 4.3% did so in math.

Harbour, the founder of the Liberty Grove Schools, the charter school that assumed control of School 42 from Indianapolis Public Schools, began making changes slowly and steadily. It hired new staff. It adopted a trusted curriculum. It leaned into 1-on-1 instruction whenever possible.

Although the school’s proficiency scores remain relatively low, those moves appear to be producing results. This year, School 42’s ILEARN results improved for the second year in a row, with 12.1% of students reaching proficiency in English, 8.3% in math, and 4.5% in both. In fact, it’s one of several “restart” charter schools where ILEARN results improved from last year and where those scores have now surpassed pre-pandemic levels.

At these schools, a charter operator agrees to take charge of a chronically underperforming school and operates it as part of the IPS Innovation Network, in which schools get some autonomy and access to district resources.

“There’s been peaks and valleys, but a lot more highlights than lowlights over the course of these first foundational years,” Harbour said.

Overall, 2025 ILEARN results mostly remained flat or increased slightly — depending on the subject — in schools IPS runs directly, charters in the Innovation Network, and independent charters. (Innovation schools that are not charters are included in the IPS direct-run figures.)

In the schools IPS manages directly, the English proficiency rate districtwide remained essentially unchanged from last year at 20.8%, while the overall math proficiency rate increased from 19.3% to 21%, according to state data. And the percentage of students achieving proficiency in both subjects inched up from 13.5% to 14.3%. Measuring individual school success from last year is challenging, however, since the district’s decision to reconfigure grade spans at nearly all schools in the 2024-25 school year makes year-over-year comparisons imprecise.

The percentage of Black and Hispanic students in IPS-run schools reaching proficiency in both math and English increased from last year, but have not yet reached pre-pandemic levels from 2019. White students, meanwhile, continue to grow beyond pre-pandemic levels.

The latest scores for IPS still fall short of the ambitious goals set forth in its Strategic Plan 2025, which was released about five years ago and called for IPS to match the state average for ILEARN performance by this year. The district’s proficiency rates this year were below the state average IPS aimed for when the plan was crafted, as well as this year’s averages — about 41% for English, 42% in math, and 31% in both subjects.

Independent charters as a whole continued to exceed district scores for all students, with higher rates of Black and Hispanic students reaching proficiency in both subjects than those in directly run IPS schools, according to a Chalkbet analysis of state data. Nearly 16% of both Black and Hispanic students in independent charters reached proficiency in both subjects, compared to roughly 6% of Black students in IPS and 8% of Hispanic students in IPS.

Charter schools in the Innovation Network still fell below district scores overall, according to Chalkbeat’s analysis, although its students’ English and math proficiency both increased from last year.

Here are a few other takeaways from the 2025 ILEARN results.

Results suggest middle school is a challenge

The ILEARN results for IPS provide a baseline for the district’s most recent Rebuilding Stronger reorganization, which dropped middle grades from existing K-8 schools to create standalone middle schools in 2024-25.

Scores at individual schools, nearly all of which changed grade spans and many of which adopted new academic programming, were a mixed bag.

Harshman Middle School and George Julian School 57 showed the greatest year-over-year growth out of all directly run IPS schools in terms of the percentage of students reaching proficiency in both English and math. Harshman added 6th grade and became a dual language and high ability school, while School 57 dropped grades 6-8 and became an International Baccalaureate school.

District-run schools with the largest decline in the percentage of students scoring proficient in both subjects include George Washington Carver School 87, which dropped grades 6-8, and William Penn Middle School, which became a standalone middle school focused on science, technology, engineering, and math.

In a statement, the district highlighted Harshman, the Center for Inquiry at School 2, Cold Spring School, and George Julian School 47 as schools with consistent yearly increases in math since 2021.

“These results demonstrate a positive trajectory for many of our students and schools, even as we’ve navigated significant district redesign over the past two years,” Superintendent Aleesia Johnson said in the statement.

Harshman had the highest proficiency scores among middle schools and beat the districtwide average in English, math, and both subjects combined.

Proficiency rates at all other district-run middle schools fell below the districtwide average in English, math, and both subjects combined. English proficiency also declined from last year in each of the middle school grades.

There are few standalone charter middle schools. Those primarily serving grades 6-8, however, posted single-digit rates in the percentage of students scoring proficient in both subjects with the exception of Paramount Englewood, a school serving grades 5-8 with a rate of 32.5%.

Charter schools increase in math proficiency

Among 26 independent charters, English proficiency declined slightly from roughly 26.1% last year to 25.6% this year, according to state data.

Like state and districtwide results, however, math scores increased for this group from roughly 25% to 26.6%.

The share of students reaching proficiency in both subjects in independent charters has not yet reached pre-pandemic levels from 2019 — although comparisons are difficult because schools have closed and opened during that time. Schools with the biggest increases in dual proficiency since last year include the Rooted School on the eastside, which jumped from 1.9% to 10.6%, and Paramount Englewood, which increased from 25.8% to 32.5%.

Innovation charter schools increased slightly in both subjects, from 14.8% to 16.8% in English and from 13.3% to 17.5% in math.

This cohort, which changes as different operators are added to or removed from the network each year, exceeded 2019 levels of the share of students reaching proficiency in both subjects. Innovation charters with the greatest increases in dual proficiency since last year include Enlace Academy on the west side and Adelante Schools on the south side.

Most ‘restart’ and ‘emerging’ schools surpass pre-COVID scores

The new ILEARN results also show some promising signs about those schools, such as School 42, labeled as chronically underperforming by the district.

For example, seven of the eight restart schools grew in the share of students reaching proficiency in both English and math since last year, with six of them exceeding pre-pandemic levels from 2019. A seventh restart charter school (that combined two schools into one), Adelante Schools at Emma Donnan, increased in dual proficiency over last year, with 16.5% of students proficient, compared to 5% in its first year of operation.

Results for schools designated by the district as “emerging” in 2020-21 — those that are chronically underperforming – are mixed. Of the remaining 11 schools designated as “emerging” at that time, five have exceeded pre-pandemic levels in the share of students scoring proficient in both math and English, including Brookside School 54, Charles Warren Fairbanks School 105, Eleanor Skillen School 34, Harshman Middle School, and Ralph Waldo Emerson School 58. Comparisons are difficult, however, because most of the schools now serve different grade spans.

At Liberty Grove, Harbour has embraced community partnerships, such as the Circle City Readers tutoring program, to give students more individualized attention. The school also built in a dedicated time period for 1-on-1 interventions at least two to three times a week, Harbour said.

“We focused on, ‘OK, if you’re a student at Liberty Grove schools, where were you three, six, eight weeks ago before you took this interim assessment?’ And then we said, ‘OK, this is where you are. This is where you want to be.’”

In the next few years, Harbour hopes to be reaching proficiency rates of 30% or more. But he doesn’t expect that to happen quickly.

“I try to emphasize this: It takes time,” he said.

Chicago Public Schools lays off more than 1,450 staff

2025-07-11T22:30:14+00:00

Chicago Public Schools laid off more than 1,450 school-based staffers, including teachers, on Friday as it works to narrow a $734 million budget deficit.

The layoffs include 432 teachers, 311 paraprofessionals, such as teacher assistants, 677 special education classroom assistants, or SECAs, 33 security officers, and five parent workers.

Across district-run schools that are not alternative or specialty schools, 57% saw a reduction in positions, according to a Chalkbeat analysis of school budgets that were released publicly Friday. The remaining 43% saw no change or an increase in the number of positions available compared to last school year.

However, 123 special education teachers and up to 300 SECAs will be eligible for retention pools, meaning they would be paid centrally over the next school year and can be deployed to schools with vacant jobs, according to Ben Felton, CPS chief talent officer. Staffers with unsatisfactory ratings are not eligible for the retention pools, Felton said.

The district typically adjusts staffing and announces layoffs in the summer before school starts. In the past, about 80% of those laid off got jobs at other schools, said CPS, adding in a news release that it is “working diligently to maintain or improve that rate again this year.”

School-based layoffs are happening later than usual this year amid delays in the district’s budgeting process. The new fiscal year began July 1, but CPS doesn’t expect to present a budget to its board for approval until next month.

Interim CPS CEO Macquline King also emailed teachers and principals on Friday promising that they would get retroactive raises for last school year in their checks by mid-August, according to copies of emails obtained by Chalkbeat.

Last school year, CPS laid off 1,410 staffers. CPS did not immediately say how many of these staffers were rehired.

Layoffs announced today may not be the end of staffing cuts and changes at schools.

CPS publicly pegged its budget deficit at about $229 million this spring under former CPS CEO Pedro Martinez, hoping for about $300 million additional money from the city and state and not taking into account certain potential expenses. When King took office earlier this month, she said the gap is about $500 million larger, removing the assumption that additional money will come in and factoring in additional costs, including a much-debated $175 million pension reimbursement to the city.

The larger deficit means additional cuts could still be on the horizon. Officials could also choose to borrow money — an option that has for months divided the school board and education advocates in Chicago. CPS officials are holding a series of public meetings next week across the city to collect public feedback on how the district should close its budget deficit.

Budget Director Mike Sitkowski said CPS is in a “tough situation” and the district has been open about its funding challenges. He said officials are “open-minded” about how to solve its deficit going forward “in a way that’s student-centered and that protects our schools.”

According to Chalkbeat’s analysis of the data released Friday, there will be 477 fewer positions across all district-run schools next year. CPS officials said they could not immediately verify that number. Sitkowski said position cuts at the individual school level are because of less need for those jobs at those specific schools.

At the same time, Sitkowski said, the district plans to give schools more positions after the academic year starts, based on need and “where students show up.”

“Anything that’s looking like a net reduction is going to be made up for in what we add back,” Sitkowski said.

District officials told Chalkbeat earlier this month that they’re changing how they staff schools with special education teachers and SECAs in order to address staffing imbalances at schools across the city. And they emphasized that those staffing changes have nothing to do with budget belt-tightening. Still, families and teachers expressed concern that the shifts could reduce the amount of support provided to students with disabilities.

The layoffs sparked frustration from the Chicago Teachers Union, which represents teachers and support staff. Earlier this week, CTU called for Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker to launch a special legislative session in order to find additional funding for education.

More than 740 people laid off are CTU members, and just over 700 belong to SEIU, CPS said.

In a letter to members on its website, CTU’s leadership team called the layoffs a “harmful and distressing annual ritual at CPS” but highlighted the retention pools they bargained for.

In a statement, SEIU said it hopes the city and the school board can work with state leaders “to mitigate these cuts so the workers do not bear the brunt.”

SEIU’s statement also said that CPS informed the union the SECA layoffs are because of a “philosophical position that too much support from SECAs will impact the independence of students post-graduation.” The union said district officials did not discuss this matter with the union or advocacy organizations before making this decision, which will “negatively impact students.”

The district’s funding formula has shifted in recent years, now providing schools with positions instead of dollars. Schools with higher needs — determined by a formula called the Opportunity Index — are generally provided more resources.

One principal on Chicago’s South Side said her budget, which is based on the smaller deficit figure, was down just one position compared to last year, and she’s trying to save it through “some savvy budgeting and maneuvering.”

She’s warned her staff that more cuts could be coming, and that the budget they’ve been working on since May is like using “monopoly money.” She’s advocating with her alderperson to provide CPS with more surplus money from a city pool of tax dollars to spur economic development, known as Tax Increment Financing, or TIF.

“I am concerned that the budget I worked with and put together is not a fully funded budget,” said the principal, who requested anonymity because she was not authorized to speak to the press. “It’s fictitious in some ways at this point.”

For the first time in five years, many Shelby County families are missing out on supplemental grocery cash this summer after Tennessee stopped participating in a federal program that served the entire state.

In Shelby County, a network of organizations with the Memphis-Shelby County Schools s ummer feeding program are serving meals and offering food pick-ups for students who are without school meals during the summer break. But the dates those sites are up and running, their opening times, and the meals offered vary widely.

IPS and charter schools: What do prominent studies and test scores say about student achievement?

2025-04-18T15:07:29+00:00

After listening to nearly two hours of public comment in a statehouse hearing room, GOP Sen. Chris Garten’s support for more funding for charter schools came down to one big thing: academic outcomes.

The Feb. 11 hearing was part of a debate over a controversial bill — now passed by lawmakers — that would require Indianapolis Public Schools to share property tax revenue with charters.

“In charter schools in Indianapolis, there’s 64 days [of] additional learning in reading,” Garten said, citing a 2022 Stanford University study that also found charter students gained over 100 additional days of learning in math. “These students are accelerating at a faster rate. That’s what we should care about.”

The Stanford study is one of several that Republican lawmakers and pro-charter groups have used in recent years to argue that charters have an academic edge over traditional public schools. They’ve come up not only in public hearings, but in blog posts, media coverage, and elsewhere.

To some politicians and charter advocates, the studies clearly answer the one question underpinning the funding debate: Which system performs better, charter schools or IPS?

But the answer may not be so simple.

Some academics have voiced concern with the methodology of some of these studies, and that they should not be used to make broad conclusions about different types of schools.

Meanwhile, results from state standardized tests and national exams do favor charter students in certain instances, although not necessarily overall.

Disputes about the relative merits of charters and traditional public schools have become common in urban school districts. Still, pitting one school type against another is ultimately not the right approach, said Jon Valant, director of the Brown Center on Education Policy at the Brookings Institution. When charter schools open in a community, he said, it’s more important to measure how and whether students across all sectors improve.

“I think we sometimes miss the big picture,” Valant said. “And we really should be focused on: How is the presence of charter schools affecting students overall?”

Here’s a breakdown of studies and test scores often cited in the ongoing conversation about charter schools and IPS — and what to keep in mind about the data.

Do charter students get more ‘days of learning’?

The study cited by Garten is the Center for Research on Education Outcomes at Stanford University’s 2022 Indianapolis study, which examined state standardized test results from 2017-18 and 2018-19. The study looked at students in independent charters, schools in the district’s autonomous Innovation Network (many of which are charters), and IPS.

The study from the center, also known as CREDO, then compared those students to statewide average learning gains, and converted the difference into a nominally straightforward metric: days of learning.

CREDO’s study found that charter students on average acquired more days of learning in reading and math than those in district schools.

Among the significant differences between the school sectors measured in 2018-19 are:

Students in charter schools demonstrated greater growth in math than those in district schools.
Black students in charter schools demonstrated greater growth in reading and math than Black students in district schools.
Hispanic students in charter schools demonstrated greater growth in reading and math than Hispanic students in district schools.
Charter school students in poverty demonstrated greater growth in reading and math than district students in poverty.
Special education students in charter schools demonstrated greater growth in reading than special education students in district schools.

CREDO has published high-profile studies of charters for over 15 years. A 2023 study it produced of charter schools nationwide determined that charters outperform district schools in both reading and math.

But some of CREDO’s methodologies have drawn criticism from other researchers.

One of their concerns: Translating data into 97 extra days of learning for charter school students, as one metric in the study concludes, may overplay the actual difference in results.

“You’re having to make these assumptions about the number of days of learning happening throughout the year,” said Joseph Ferrare, an associate professor at the University of Washington Bothell who has studied charter school authorizing in Indianapolis. “That’s why I think for the most part the research community hasn’t reached any consensus on using that as a method.”

A number of the report’s findings about charter schools and district schools — such as the gap of 64 days of learning Garten referenced at the hearing — are tied to numerical differences that are not statistically significant, Ferrare said. In other words, there is not enough evidence to rule out the possibility that the performance of the two types of schools is actually the same, according to Ferrare.

Some findings are not statistically significant because charter schools have a lot of variation in their performance, said CREDO director Margaret Raymond.

She also noted the 2022 Indianapolis study’s data is becoming outdated.

But Raymond advised against drawing conclusions from the study about whether district schools or charters perform better. Instead, she noted that the study found growth at charter and Innovation schools equivalent to the state average. District schools, meanwhile, showed growth below the state average.

“The point is that somehow, the rules of the game for charter schools and innovation schools allow them to actually be better,” she said. “And what are the conditions of those? What is it about those rules of the game that give them that kind of capacity to perform at higher levels?”

Indianapolis charter schools more cost effective, study finds

Another 2023 analysis from the University of Arkansas’ Department of Education Reform concluded that Indianapolis charter schools produce better academic outcomes on fewer dollars.

Using data from CREDO’s Indianapolis study, the analysis converted differences in test scores into scores on the nationwide National Assessment of Educational Progress. It then analyzes those scores using per-pupil revenue data for the 2019-20 school year.

The report concludes that Indianapolis charter schools are more cost-effective and earned an additional 11 NAEP points per every $1,000 in funding, compared with traditional public schools.

But Ferrare cautioned that the report makes too many assumptions and does not control for factors that would drive differences in spending between schools, such as students with a particular set of needs, Ferrare said.

While charters have a higher percentage of Black students and those eligible for free or reduced-price meals, IPS has a higher percentage of students with disabilities and a slightly higher proportion of English language learner students, according to a Chalkbeat analysis of 2024-25 enrollment data.

But differences in student population do not track closely with differences in spending across the school types, with the exception of funding for students with disabilities, said Patrick Wolf, distinguished professor of education policy in the Department of Education Reform and one of the study’s co-authors.

Even then, the “yawning funding gap” between IPS and charters can’t ultimately be justified by student demographics, Wolf noted.

What ILEARN results show

As prominent as those two studies have been in the debate over Indianapolis schools, the data they use is several years old. So what do more recent student achievement results tell us?

The latest 2024 ILEARN results for students in grades 3-8 show that there is little overall difference between charter schools and IPS schools in English language arts and math.

That’s according to a Chalkbeat test score analysis, which includes all charters within IPS borders, as well as those outside of IPS borders where a majority of their students live in IPS borders.

When it comes to several student subgroups, charters have the edge.

Black charter school students achieved higher average proficiency rates than their peers in IPS-run schools in both reading and math. Charters also had higher average proficiency rates for English language learners and those qualifying for free or reduced-price meals in both subjects.

What IREAD, SAT results, and graduation rates show

On last year’s IREAD test for literacy given to third graders, charter schools had a weighted average passing rate of roughly 64%, compared with the district’s overall average of 60%.

On the SAT, Indianapolis-area charters show a higher average percentage of students scoring at least a 480 in reading and writing and a 530 in math on the SAT — scores that the College Board says demonstrate college readiness.

But experts still caution against using these stats to reach sweeping conclusions about entire school systems or sectors.

The test results alone don’t show whether the schools alone are causing them, Ferrare said, and there may be other characteristics of the student population accounting for the differences.

Meanwhile, graduation rates for non-waiver students — those who don’t receive an exemption from state graduation requirements — are slightly higher in IPS than in charters.

Is pitting charters against traditional public schools unhelpful?

One thing the Indianapolis education community doesn’t lack is a steady stream of research about its public schools.

A 2019 study from Indiana University researchers, for example, found that elementary students who were continuously enrolled in a mayor-sponsored Indianapolis charter school performed better on the state standardized test than students in traditional public schools.

And a 2023 study from Ferrare and others also found positive results for students who switched from a traditional public school to a charter school authorized by the mayor’s office.

At the same time, a 2025 paper examining the IPS “portfolio” model of different school types — which includes charters — found that the autonomy provided to portfolio schools did not significantly affect student achievement.

At the end of the day, Valant said, measuring which school type is better academically is complicated.

“I wish we could talk more about how these policies affect overall student outcomes and family outcomes,” he said, “because I think sometimes the horse race comparison can be distracting, and also can create some bad incentives and can kind of keep schools from wanting to collaborate.”

How Tennessee’s expansive, expensive school voucher law made it to the finish line

2025-01-31T21:15:03+00:00

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and fellow school voucher proponents have finally claimed their ultimate prize: a state law that will ultimately allow for families all over the state, rich and poor, to use taxpayer funds to send their children to private schools.

The Education Freedom Scholarship Act, approved by the legislature in a special session of the legislature Thursday, will launch this fall with up to 20,000 students statewide, and continue to grow each year, with income limits disappearing after the first year.

In the special session, the bill sailed through committees stacked with voucher supporters, and cleared the House and Senate with comfortable margins. Lawmakers batted away amendments seeking to strengthen the bill’s accountability provisions and protections for disabled people.

But Tennessee’s embrace of school vouchers for all was never a foregone conclusion. Slimmed-down versions of the idea died many times in the legislature before one finally squeaked through on a controversial vote in 2019. A group of parents and local governments sued to block it, and the courts initially declared the plan unconstitutional.

The detractors and skeptics continued to push back on the plan when Lee proposed the expansive program in 2024, with more than 50 school boards on record opposing it. That bill stalled last year in the Senate finance committee.

Also, the research hasn’t supported the case for vouchers as a way to improve academic outcomes. Recent studies find little evidence that vouchers improve test scores. In fact, they’ve sometimes led to declines. Polls show that public support for vouchers in Tennessee is generally split.

Even now, after its passage, big questions loom about the cost of the statewide program, and whether it meaningfully advances the cause of school choice. The Education Freedom Scholarship Act is projected to cost taxpayers more than $1 billion over the next five years. And because of the high income thresholds, 65% of the vouchers will end up going to students who already attend private schools, the state projects.

Meanwhile, students of color, kids from low-income families, and those with disabilities are often left out of school choice programs due to the locations and supply of private schools, transportation challenges, and the high cost of tuition, national data shows.

So how did vouchers take on an air of inevitability in Tennessee, just a few years after they were staring down defeat?

It was a combination of political swings, judicial shakeups that led to a string of court victories, and a pandemic that ignited culture wars and shook faith in public schools. Also, credit behind-the-scenes lobbying and political maneuvers and heavy influence from out-of-state groups with deep pockets.

In 2019, for example, a questionable parliamentary move led to the passage of the limited program, prompting several calls for a federal investigation. Two years later, the death of a Tennessee Supreme Court justice, just months after hearing arguments in the case, tipped the high court’s balance of power, likely contributing to the ruling that upheld the law.

At the center of the effort was Lee himself, who was determined to get universal vouchers across the finish line before the end of his second term in 2027. The governor used hardball tactics and welcomed spending from deep-pocketed out-of-state groups seeking to influence the outcome. He also loaded the bill with more spending to mollify public school advocates, and bundled funding for his plan with money for disaster relief and immigration in the wake of Hurricane Helene and President Donald Trump’s election.

Below is a closer look at where the march to universal vouchers began, and how it arrived at its destination in Tennessee:

NYC test scores: Math scores rose, while English scores declined, data shows

2024-08-21T19:08:18+00:00

Sign up for Chalkbeat New York’s free daily newsletter to keep up with NYC’s public schools.

Math scores rose across New York City public schools last school year while English scores ticked down, according to state test results released Wednesday by city officials.

Among students in grades 3-8, 53.4% were considered proficient or above in math, an increase of 3.5 percentage points. The share of children considered to be reading on grade level slipped to 49.1% — a 2.6 point decrease.

The dip in English scores comes at a pivotal moment, as schools Chancellor David Banks’ top priority is to raise literacy rates. He has required all elementary schools to use one of three approved reading programs. City officials acknowledged that the curriculum overhaul — which began in just under half of the city’s local districts last year and will roll out to all schools this fall — might have negatively affected test scores as teachers were getting used to unfamiliar materials.

A Chalkbeat analysis found that districts that began using the new curriculums last school year saw average proficiency rates drop by 3.5 percentage points. In districts that were not covered by the curriculum mandate, the drop was slightly smaller, at 2.8 percentage points. An analysis conducted by the Education Department shows similar trends.

Those figures only include students in grades 3-5, as middle schools have not been universally required to change reading curriculums. (Students who score a 3 on the state tests are considered proficient, while a 4 is above proficiency.)

“Significant change does not happen overnight, and the slight decline in [English] test scores represents a transitional period as our school system adjusts to a new method of instruction,” Banks said in a statement. City officials said other states that have pursued curriculum overhauls have also seen initial test score declines.

Still, experts said that aggregate test scores should be interpreted with caution, as many other variables besides the curriculum changes could push scores up or down, such as fluctuations in federal COVID relief funding and elevated rates of chronic absenteeism. The Education Department did not randomly select which schools were required to overhaul their curriculums in the first phase of the rollout.

The state test scores should be used “as only a rough indicator of students’ performance and not in any way as a decisive evaluation or referendum” on the curriculum overhaul, said Aaron Pallas, a professor at Columbia University’s Teachers College who has studied school performance and accountability systems. “When there’s multiple things changing at once, it’s really, really hard to isolate the impact of a curriculum change.”

Officials pointed to data from a separate battery of assessments that the city delivered to students in grades K-2 last spring that showed an uptick in reading scores compared with the year before as a sign of improvement. But those statistics also show that the scores among schools that adopted the new curriculums rose slightly less than schools that were not part of the curriculum mandate. Officials said the differences were not statistically significant.

Susan Neuman, a New York University professor who has supported the curriculum changes, said that while the city’s assessment data seemed more encouraging, it is too early to draw conclusions. “I don’t think it is valid” to use the state test scores to assess the curriculum mandate so far, she said. “I’m not concerned” about the decline, she added.

For his part, Pallas was skeptical that the city’s assessment data, based on a screener from a company called Acadience, could reveal much about policy implementation since it is typically used to identify individual students who are struggling so schools can deploy extra help.

“I fully understand the impulse of the city to crow about numbers that seem to be going up,” Pallas said. “But there, too, I think that has very little to do with the curricular changes that we are seeing.”

The state test scores released Wednesday came out months earlier than in recent years, which city officials said was due to state education officials giving them the green light to release local scores earlier. Scores were delayed until the fall last year as state officials developed cut scores for the new exam, but in 2022 and 2021, the data was released in late September and late October, respectively.

The scores continued to reveal disparities between different student groups.

About 70% of Asian American students and nearly 66% of white students scored proficient or above on English exams compared with nearly 39% of Black students and about 36% of Latino children. About 21% of students with disabilities were considered to be on grade level.

In math, almost 80% of Asian American children and just over 72% of white children were proficient, compared with about 38% of Black students and nearly 40% of Latino ones. Math proficiency rates were much lower for students with disabilities, at just over 27%.

The figures released Wednesday do not include charter schools.

More broadly, the state’s standardized tests have undergone a series of changes in recent years, making it difficult at times to compare data from one school year to the next. In 2020, for example, the exams were canceled due to the start of the COVID pandemic, and the following year they were reinstated but made optional for students across the state.

In 2023, students for the first time took a new exam aligned with the Next Generation Learning Standards, which were established after revisions to the controversial Common Core. Earlier this year, the city’s fifth and eighth graders took a computer-based model of those exams, as the state continues its multiyear phase-in of computer-based testing.

And across the city, an additional 185 schools opted into digital English exams for some portion of their third, fourth, sixth, or seventh graders, while 166 schools did so for math.

City data showed a larger drop in the share of fifth and eighth graders who scored proficient in reading on the most recent exams when compared to the city’s 3-8 grade students as a whole. While some studies have found students tend to do worse on exams taken on a computer or tablet, research isn’t definitive. Many states have already switched over to a computer-based model, but there have been different outcomes across the country.

City officials said they were “not able to confidently disentangle the impact of computer-based testing versus other factors” on students’ scores.

Still, the tests can be helpful for schools and districts, informing instructional decisions and assisting in the development of individual student learning plans.

Here are Chicago’s new school board districts

2024-06-17T15:45:02+00:00

Sign up for Chalkbeat Chicago’s free daily newsletter to keep up with the latest education news.

This November, Chicago voters will elect school board members for the first time to govern Chicago Public Schools, the nation’s fourth largest school district.

The change will end 30 years of mayoral control.

Activists and parents started pushing for the ability to elect Chicago school board members roughly a decade ago, after years of education reform that changed how schools were funded, how teachers were evaluated, how many schools were opened and closed, and who operated them.

In 2021, state lawmakers passed legislation to create a half-elected, half-appointed 21-member elected school board in Chicago by 2025 and a fully-elected board by 2027.

These are some of the education questions Chalkbeat answered through data in 2023

2023-12-18T16:06:51+00:00

This was a year for asking questions. With students firmly ensconced back in physical classrooms, it felt like we were taking stock of the new normal. How bad was COVID learning loss? What will it take to recover? What fresh surprises can we expect from 2024?

This was also the year in which, if you had questions, AI had answers. They were probably wrong, generated from illicit Internet scraping and presented with the boundless confidence of a late-night infomercial — but they were answers, of a sort.

As a human and not a large language model, I can’t always promise answers, although our data team will certainly try to find them. Some problems are complicated, and I believe it’s more important to be precise and correct than to be reassuring. But here are seven questions, and the data stories that answer them, from 2023.

How many certified bilingual teachers work in Chicago?

With Chicago facing an influx of immigrants, how is the district handling new English language learners? A Chalkbeat data analysis found that the answer is complicated: There are now fewer designated bilingual instructors than in the past, mostly due to a decline in part-time positions. But more teachers with a bilingual endorsement are working in general education positions. Our team looked at public and internal staffing data to get a better picture of how staff and students are matching up.

How much is your new Memphis teacher salary?

Most of our team’s work consists of data visualization and analysis. But we’re sometimes able to also provide interactive tools for our readers, as in this story by Laura Testino about the new Memphis salary schedules. Data intern Nadia Bey helped write a calculator embed that takes a teacher’s current salary and education level into account, then computes the new band and how it compares to changes at other salary levels. Nadia also wrote about the development process on the data team blog.

What anti-trans laws are pushing students to Illinois?

As a wave of anti-trans legislation has swept through the country, Chalkbeat Chicago intern Max Lubbers profiled several students who have moved (or are planning to move) to Illinois as a refuge. To provide context for their stories, we downloaded the ACLU’s full list of LGBT-related legislation, and then read through the actual bills — almost 500 of them — to categorize them and find trends in their spread, like the rise of “parental rights” language. The resulting story is not just about Illinois, but also about a wider national movement, and its impacts on vulnerable students.

How does gender segregation affect NYC public schools?

In 17% of NYC high schools, boys outnumber girls by at least 2 to 1, or vice versa. That’s the striking conclusion from a Common Core of Data analysis in this Chalkbeat story by Michael Elsen-Rooney and Kae Petrin, with a deep dive into the selection criteria, history, and possible outcomes. Many of these schools specialize in career and technical education programs like health care or tech, and may reflect — or even contribute to — the corresponding gender gaps in similar careers.

Does staff diversity in Newark match the student body?

Despite New Jersey’s diverse student population, it’s one of the most segregated public school systems in the country. In this story by Catherine Carrera and Jessie Gómez, with data analysis by Nadia Bey, Chalkbeat specifically looked at Newark’s teachers and administrators in the context of its growing Latino population.

Just how bad was COVID’s impact on English language learners?

It’s undeniable that the pandemic affected student test results across the board, but English learners were particularly impacted. Chalkbeat Colorado’s Yesenia Robles looked at passage rates on standardized tests, with data analysis by Kae Petrin, to see just how bad it’s been, and examined how districts are doing about it. As often happens with education, what seem like simple test scores might mask a much more complicated situation, depending on changes in the makeup of the English learner population, participation rates, and changes in student designation.

Were Indianapolis’ Restart charters successful?

Charter schools operate struggling district schools through “turnaround” programs in cities throughout the U.S., including Indianapolis. But researchers and advocates encounter a number of difficulties evaluating exactly how those schools perform after operator changes, shifts in standardized tests, and more. Chalkbeat Indiana’s Amelia Pak-Harvey teamed up with Kae Petrin to dig into how the data picture doesn’t quite match officials’ promised outcomes.

Chicago Public Schools is becoming less low-income. Here’s why that matters.

2023-09-06T22:09:52+00:00

About six years ago, Lori Zaimi’s daughter told her mom that another longtime friend was leaving their elementary school in Edgewater on the North Side. The friend’s apartment building, she explained, had been sold to someone who was going to renovate it.

Zaimi recognized the familiar story of gentrification, when higher-income families move into a working class neighborhood and drive up property values. She’d seen property demolitions and pricey single family housing go up across Edgewater, the formerly working class neighborhood where she grew up.

She has also seen the impact in her daughter’s school, where Zaimi became principal in 2015. These days, she said, rent is “unaffordable for many of our families.”

A decade ago, nearly 73% of students at the school, Helen C. Peirce School of International Studies, came from low-income households, according to district data. Last school year, that figure was just over 34%.

Zaimi’s school is not alone. Ten years ago, 85% of Chicago Public Schools students came from low-income households. Now, that figure is 73% — a 12 percentage point drop — according to district data from the 2022-23 school year. Chicago Public Schools considers a student “economically disadvantaged” if their family’s income is within 185% of the federal poverty line. This year, that threshold is $55,500 or less for a family of four.

The drop, experts say, is driven by several factors, including gentrification, population and enrollment shifts, as well as a potential dissatisfaction with district schools.

Even though the number of students from low-income families has dropped, nearly three-quarters of the district’s student body is still considered “economically disadvantaged.” But if the downward trend continues, Chicago schools could continue to see fewer dollars than expected from the state, which funds districts in part by considering how many students from low-income families are enrolled.

For individual schools, such as Peirce, the decline has led to the loss of Title I money, federal dollars sent to schools with high shares of low-income students. But as the school has become more mixed-income, it has also become more racially diverse: Last school year, Peirce was 47% white and 32% Hispanic, compared to 17% white and 62% Hispanic 10 years ago.

As the district enrolls a smaller share of students from low-income households, Chicago’s schools continue to look different from how they did a decade ago, especially in rapidly changing neighborhoods. That shift raises questions about who schools are serving, how they should be resourced, and what the district — and the city — can do as it continues to lose students.

Low-income drops happening across Chicago, but steeper in some neighborhoods

Peirce is one of more than 200 schools that have seen their share of students from low-income families drop by more than the districtwide decline of 12 percentage points, according to a Chalkbeat analysis of the district’s public school enrollment data from the 2022-23 school year.

The analysis of the past decade also found:

While overall enrollment has also fallen, it’s still outpaced by the loss of students from low-income families. The district enrolled 31% fewer students from low-income families than in 2013, as the district’s overall enrollment dipped by 20%.
When looking at neighborhoods, schools in Lincoln Square and Irving Park, on the North Side, and West Elsdon, on the Southwest Side, saw a median 20 percentage point drop or more in students from low-income households since 2013. That’s more than any other community area.
Nine of the top 10 schools that lost the largest shares of students from low-income households were located on the North Side, across gentrifying neighborhoods.
Half of them enrolled more children last school year than they did 10 years ago, bucking citywide trends.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, 73 schools saw increases in their share of students from low-income families. One-third are on the South and West sides — regions that have also lost the most residents between 1999 and 2020, according to a 2022 report from UIC.

CPS officials use two methods to find out which students are from low-income households. They automatically count students who receive certain government aid meant for low-income families, such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits. And they collect forms handed out at the start of the school year that ask families to report their income, which in the past helped the district determine students who qualified for free or reduced price lunch.

In 2014, CPS became eligible for the federal universal free meals program for districts that serve at least 40% students from low-income families. With less pressure on schools to collect the forms, which are not mandatory, some have suggested that the district may be collecting fewer of them, potentially skewing the data about low-income families.

A CPS spokesperson said it could be “one of several reasons” behind the drop in the district’s share of low-income students. However, district officials declined to share the rate at which forms have been returned over the past decade, instead asking Chalkbeat to file an open records request for that information.

There’s some evidence that those forms do not get filled out, particularly among new students, said Elaine Allensworth, who studies education policy and is Lewis-Sebring Director of the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research.

In the 2014-15 school year, 86% of preschoolers and 81% of kindergartners were listed as coming from low-income families, on par with children in other grades, district data show. The next school year, after the district became federally eligible for universal free lunch, around 62% of preschool and kindergarten students came from low-income families, while figures in older grades shifted just a couple percentage points from the previous year.

“That says to me new families that are coming into CPS are not signing up for free lunch,” Allensworth said, who added that population shifts are also a likely contributing factor.

The current data for early grades could also signal that CPS is likely to see its low-income population decline further. Last school year, nearly one-quarter of preschoolers and close to half of kindergarteners were from low-income families, compared to more than three-quarters of students in nearly all of the older grades.

Multiple principals told Chalkbeat they don’t believe missing paperwork is a big contributor — or that it is a factor at all — since their funding heavily relies on collecting those forms.

Another factor in the drop of low-income students could be a slight uptick in families seeking out private schools. Of Chicago’s low-income families, 10% were enrolled in private school in 2021 — an increase of 3 percentage points from 2019, according to an analysis of Census data by Jose Pacas, chief of data science and research at Kids First Chicago. That’s after little change since 2012, the last time there was a similar increase.

That coincides with the COVID pandemic when CPS switched to virtual learning, as well as the launch of Illinois’ tax credit scholarship program, which began in the 2018-19 school year. The program grants tax credits to people who fund scholarships for low-income students who want to attend private schools. That program is expected to sunset this year.

Some low-income parents, like Blaire Flowers, say they’re frustrated with the lack of good school options available in the neighborhoods they can afford to live in. Her daughter takes two buses to a charter high school miles away from their home in Austin on the West Side because Flowers wasn’t able to find a school she liked in their own neighborhood.

West Side parent Blaire Flowers, pictured in the center, is surrounded by four of her five children.

The mother of five also fears that CPS won’t provide her 4-year-old son who has autism with an adequate education. She’s already struggled to secure bus transportation for him this year, and she’s heard frustrations from parents of older students with disabilities who have had trouble securing services they’re entitled to.

If Flowers left Chicago, she’d follow in the footsteps of many friends and family members, some who found the city too expensive, she said.

“Everyone I know, that I was close to, has left the city,” Flowers said.

As neighborhoods gentrify, schools face stark choices

The demographic changes in Chicago Public Schools are largely a reflection of a changing city, experts said.

From 2010 to 2020, Chicago’s population grew by 2%. The median household income also grew by more than $20,000, according to U.S. Census estimates. But during that time, the school district saw enrollment decline by 60,000 students. In recent years, the city’s population has dipped by 3%, driven in part by an exodus of working class families.

“The share of working class families in Chicago is decreasing with time, as its industry and economy shifts toward white collar jobs that skew upper class, college educated,” said William Scarborough, the lead author of the UIC report, who is now an associate professor of sociology at the University of North Texas.

School closings, including the mass closures under former Mayor Rahm Emanuel, may have also pushed some working-class families to leave the city if they lost a beloved neighborhood school, Scarborough added. More people left the majority Black census tracts that experienced those 2013 school closures versus similar areas that did not, according to a WBEZ/Chicago Sun-Times investigation.

As schools lost students, some principals doubled down on enrolling the kids who lived in their neighborhood.

That’s what happened at Alexander Hamilton Elementary School in Lake View on the North Side, which saw one of the biggest drops in the share of students from low-income families. In 2013, Hamilton enrolled nearly 40% of children from low-income households, according to district data. That dropped to roughly 9% last school year.

James Gray, who was the principal from 2009-17, inherited an enrollment crisis when he took over Hamilton, which had narrowly escaped closure. The school enrolled 243 students when he arrived – roughly half of the almost 500 it served in 1999. He set out on what he called a “guerrilla effort” to sign up more neighborhood children, offering tours of the school, hosting weekend events and open houses, and even venturing to the park to chat up parents of toddlers — or potential future students.

Gray was successful. By the time he left, enrollment had jumped back up to about 480 students. He noticed that his students were increasingly coming from wealthier families. They were also more white. But that’s who lived in the neighborhood.

In 2013, the school was 47% white, 12% Black, 30% Hispanic and 4% Asian. Last school year, 73% of students were white — on par with the racial makeup of Lake View — while just 3% were Black, just under 13% were Hispanic, and nearly 4% were Asian American. (Hamilton’s current principal did not respond to a request for an interview.)

Though the shifts at individual schools can be stark, the racial breakdown districtwide has only changed slightly. As of last school year, the district’s students were 4% Asian American, 11% white, 36% Black, and 46.5% Hispanic. Ten years ago, 3% were Asian American, 9% were white, 40.5% were Black, and close to 45% were Hispanic.

Research has shown that students in diverse schools, both socioeconomically and racially, perform better academically than schools that are not integrated.

At the same time, families who become the minority may not feel as included or even shut out from their schools. As more neighborhood white families enrolled at Hamilton, Gray said, he received an anonymous note that said he had “driven Black and brown families away.”

It also stung when former students would visit and notice improvements at the school — bankrolled, in part, by parent fundraising efforts — such as new hoops and backboards in the gym and a new science lab.

They would say some version of, “Oh Mr. Gray, I wish you could have done this while I was here,” he recalled.

“They realized their experience was different from the kindergarteners or first graders’ experience over time,” Gray said.

While the demographic shifts have led to more income and racial diversity at some schools, that diversity could be fleeting as gentrification continues to push longtime neighborhood families out.

John-Jairo Betancur, professor of urban planning and policy at UIC, said as property values “dramatically” increase, families — and their children — leave for other neighborhoods or the suburbs, causing enrollment in the local schools to drop. At the same time, birth rates are declining in Chicago and more households do not include children, Betancur noted.

That has happened in Logan Square, home to Lorenz Brentano Math & Science Academy elementary school.

Similar to Hamilton, Brentano was at risk of closure due to low enrollment in 2013. Principal Seth Lavin’s priority when he became principal in 2015 was to bring in more students. He, too, was successful through various efforts, giving more than 100 school tours his first year, he said.

Today, the school enrolls almost 700 children, a 62% increase from a decade ago. But the school looks different. Roughly 39% of students come from low-income households, a nearly 50 percentage point drop from 2013 when 88% did. The school has also become more diverse: Half of Brentano’s students are Hispanic, just over a third are white, and about 5% are Black. A decade ago, 85% of students were Hispanic, while 5% were white, and 4% were Black.

Lavin said he is worried that gentrification has already “pushed out a lot of families” and will continue to do so, leading to a “great sense of loss” for families who have long called Logan Square home, and believe Brentano is at the heart of their community.

“It’s heartbreaking that even as we grow, and there’s expansion and the programming and things we didn’t have before that we’re able to get because of enrollment growth, that we’re losing families that should have those things, too,” Lavin said.

‘We have to keep kids in neighborhoods’

Lavin can spot six buildings outside of Brentano that have been renovated and hiked up rent prices in the last several years. He said the city “desperately” needs affordable housing and a pathway to home ownership.

“If we want to keep kids in neighborhood schools, we have to keep kids in neighborhoods,” he said.

Mayor Brandon Johnson has said that building more affordable housing and boosting neighborhood schools are priorities for his administration. Specifically, the mayor wants to grow the district’s Sustainable Community Schools model, which provides extra money for wraparound support and programming.

Separately, Johnson’s vision for school funding would alleviate pressure on principals to enroll more children in order to have a well-resourced school, or even to avoid closure. Though in the past more students meant more funding, CPS officials have been shifting toward funding schools based on need, not just enrollment. But that comes as the district stares down financial challenges, including a fiscal cliff as COVID relief dollars are set to run out.

If the city does nothing to address issues such as affordable housing, Chicago will shift toward “a city that primarily serves elites,” said Scarborough, the author of the UIC report.

District officials have not yet researched the trend around losing students from low-income families, a spokesperson said.

But many principals have noticed these shifts for years.

Even with how her community has changed, Zaimi’s school has two counselors and more staff focused on academic intervention. Still, she wishes she had more funding to hire a parent resource coordinator who could work with families, as well as instructional coaches who could help new teachers or those using new strategies in the classroom.

After all, she emphasized, her students have a lot of needs, regardless of their income. And, last year, more than one-third — about 370 — came from low-income families. That’s larger than the enrollment of entire schools in Chicago.

Memphis-Shelby County Schools TCAP scores show modest gains

2023-07-18T21:20:24+00:00

Memphis-Shelby County Schools students gained some ground on state math tests, newly released test scores show, but they have yet to rebound to pre-pandemic proficiency levels.

In English language arts, where the district recouped pandemic era losses last year, scores stagnated.

Officials released the district-level results of the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program, known as TCAP, Tuesday afternoon.

The gains for Memphis were much more modest than the previous year, when officials trumpeted a district “trending up” following devastating academic declines during the pandemic. Overall, scores on the tests students took in the spring approached 2019 levels but have yet to completely return for all students and subject areas.

MSCS Deputy Superintendent Angela Whitelaw acknowledged in a statement that the district had “continued work to do this year.”

Statewide, math scores followed a similar trajectory as in Memphis, although scores for MSCS students were lower than statewide averages. In MSCS, 15% of students were on track for their grade in math compared with 23% in 2019. The 2021 low was 7%.

But while Tennessee students in general continued to see literacy gains, Memphis did not see much growth after last year’s rebound.

Students in grades 3-8 take the state assessments each year, and high school students take subject-area tests at the end of their courses.

“One key takeaway for me is the momentum we saw in our high schools,” Whitelaw said. “With the exception of English 1, we saw gains across the board.”

The score reports do not reflect the progress of students as they move from one grade to the next. For now, they can be used only to compare, say, this year’s sixth graders to last year’s sixth graders.

So they don’t capture how much this year’s third graders in Memphis improved from when they were in second grade. Those improvements showed up in an analysis MSCS shared earlier this summer in connection with Tennessee’s new reading law. This past year’s third graders were the first class subject to the new state law, which uses students’ TCAP scores in English language arts to determine whether they need more intervention to avoid being held back.

MSCS’ recovery efforts have helped students who are the farthest behind, the data shows. In both ELA and math, the share of students who scored “below” proficiency on the test — the lowest performance level — continued to shrink. But for both subjects, that share is still larger than in 2019, and the divide is more pronounced in math.

“Having visited these classrooms this morning, it helps me to remain hopeful and optimistic,” Bill White, a top MSCS academic leader, said after a tour of summer class at Shelby Oaks Elementary. “Because the data nationwide shows me that coming out of those learning losses is going to be tough, and it’s going to be slow, and it’s going to require extra time and instruction.”

The testing data reflects achievements from the most normal school year the district’s students have had since classrooms shuttered in March 2020 as a precaution against the spread of COVID-19. The 2021-21 school year was online for most Memphis students. They returned to classrooms in 2021-22, but spikes in COVID-19 infections led to waves of absences and disruptions to learning.

Students didn’t have those kinds of disruptions this past school year, but the district did have a turbulent year, starting off with transitions in top leadership and ending with the fallout of a stalled superintendent search.

For the coming school year, the board plans to order a review of the district’s academic programs, which interim Superintendent Toni Williams has started preparing. The results are expected to also inform spending decisions as federal COVID relief funds run out.

“We know the district is doing something right,” board member Kevin Woods said about the academic review. “And I think the better way we frame that is why so many of our students struggle, with all the investments that we make.”

TCAP scores are in for Tennessee school districts. Look up how your district did.

2023-07-18T21:14:52+00:00

Most Tennessee school systems increased their students’ proficiency rates in math and English language arts last school year, according to district-level test scores released Tuesday by the state.

The latest scores generally mirrored statewide data released last month that showed gains across all core subjects and grades, even exceeding pre-pandemic proficiency rates in English language arts and social studies.

But large learning gaps remain, especially for historically underserved students including children with disabilities, those from low-income families, and students of color.

The results are an important marker as school systems work to recover from steep learning losses in 2021, when the first test scores from the pandemic period declined dramatically across Tennessee and the rest of the nation.

The scores also give a localized snapshot of how school districts are doing with tutoring, summer school, and other programs designed to accelerate learning after the pandemic.

Below, you can look up how your school district performed in English language arts and math in 2022-23 under the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program, or TCAP.

You also can delve further into local results, including scores in science and social studies, via Tennessee’s new online dashboard on its State Report Card.

13 education data stories that explained U.S. schools in 2022

2022-12-29T15:00:00+00:00

A map, a graph, a timeline: When we think about data in news stories, our minds naturally jump to these kinds of visual elements. But the core of data journalism is less about specific charts, and more about scale—it gives us a way to understand big stories and lots of numbers, by analyzing and aggregating them until we can see the shape of the trends within.

2022 was my first full calendar year as the editor of Chalkbeat’s data team, and what a year for data it was. Here’s a baker’s dozen of the stories that we feel captured our best work, and help sum up a busy 12 months reporting on education data across America.

1. NYC parents, was your child exposed to COVID? Here’s what to do next

It’s easy to forget now, but at the start of 2022 there was still a lot of confusion around what the return to school meant for public health: Policies around masking, quarantine, and contact tracing were all changing rapidly. Our team worked with Chalkbeat editors and reporters in New York City to create an interactive flowchart to reduce some of that confusion, so that parents could walk step by step through the requirements if their child or a classmate tested positive.

2. What five graphics tell us about COVID vaccine disparity in Chicago schools

Once vaccines were approved for children, they became part of a layered public health strategy for school districts trying to get kids back into classrooms. But like so much about COVID, vaccine distribution also revealed persistent inequality. In Chicago, data analysis from the district’s vaccination dashboard showed an organization struggling to keep kids safe, especially in historically Black and Hispanic neighborhoods on the South Side of the city.

3. Technology, Skyline rollout dominate Chicago Public Schools’ federal relief vendor spending

With the pandemic came federal money, through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Funds, also known as ESSER I, II, and III. Flush with cash, school districts across the country channeled money into renovation, hiring, and equipment.

On this story, we looked at the data from Chicago Public Schools’ spending, to see who was making the most from ESSER purchases. Unsurprisingly, the tree map at the top shows how more than half of all spending went to only 10 mega-vendors out of almost 1,000 companies in the dataset.

4. How the COVID-19 pandemic is changing school data

Pandemics are natural data stories, but they are also big data events for governments and school administrations, and many states responded accordingly. Data reporters Kae Petrin and Kaitlyn Radde collaborated on this story to explore how COVID had exposed weaknesses in school data infrastructure, and the improvements they were making in response.

5. Nonbinary students aren’t reflected in federal civil rights data. That might change.

In a similar vein, this story from Kae Petrin looked into a proposed change from the federal Office of Civil Rights that would expand the gender categories used in state-reported data on harassment, absenteeism, and sexual assault. More than just a demographic marker, these kinds of changes — highlighted in a map from Cam Rodriguez — also show the seams of our patchwork educational system, and where they sometimes strain to keep up with social change.

6. In New Jersey, thousands of Black and Hispanic students are shut out of AP classes

One of the advantages of working on data at Chalkbeat is our local coverage, and the ability to work with bureaus that are deeply sourced in their communities. This story by Patrick Wall is a perfect example, as it digs into New Jersey’s AP class attendance gap, and its disproportionate effect on students of color, including maps and graphs from Cam Rodriguez that put the disparity into sharp contrast.

7. How the age-appropriate debate is altering curriculum in Tennessee and nationwide

This year saw the political debate around critical race theory — the academic framework that examines how policies and the law perpetuate systemic racism and that is not commonly taught in primary or secondary schools — turned into an ongoing controversy around reading material in libraries and classrooms. For this enterprise story, our team added context for objections that parents had raised against the curriculum used by Williamson County, which included accusations of racism against Ruby Bridges’ autobiography and an assertion that a book on seahorses normalizes male pregnancy. We also wrote up some of our notes on the development of the visualization.

8. Nation’s report card: Massive drop in math scores, slide in reading linked to COVID disruption

After a year of delay from its normal schedule, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) released test results that showed just how severely students were affected by learning loss during the pandemic. Our team worked with all of Chalkbeat’s bureaus to analyze these scores around the country, including demographic breakdowns. On the national level we also added comparisons to the impact of remote learning by state.

9. Online enrollment grows in Colorado but some say more accountability is needed

Analysis of NAEP scores showed that students didn’t clearly lose or gain in online schools, but that those schools’ growth hasn’t always been transparent. This report by Colorado reporter Yesenia Robles and data team member Kae Petrin dove deep into concerns around graduation rates and academic achievement at virtual schools, as well as wide gaps in the state’s data on their effectiveness.

10. As pandemic aid runs out, America is set to return to a broken school funding system

Pandemic relief funds were a windfall for many districts, especially after years of tight budgets at high-poverty schools. But with ESSER money due to expire soon, questions remain about how to make those changes sustainable and address historical underfunding. Our team worked on several ways to visualize this problem, including a spike map that juxtaposes population against per-student funding.

11. Ahead of school closures, 5 takeaways about the number of schools and students in Denver

Nationwide, shrinking school enrollment has led districts to make hard choices about keeping schools open, especially as smaller schools are more expensive and offer fewer options for each student. In Colorado, Chalkbeat has covered the debate over school closures, including this analysis-based story on how Denver school growth (both district and charter) has tracked against the student population.

12. Interest in running for Indianapolis school board drops to new low

Two sets of local elected officials became the center of intense (often negative) scrutiny this year: election supervisors and school boards. In Indiana, Cam Rodriguez worked with Chalkbeat and WFYI reporters to put together this comparison of election cohorts over time, showing how candidate interest in school board openings has dropped, even as the cost of running has increased.

13. Michigan students who are homeless more likely to be disciplined

Based on a University of Michigan study, this story features a map that isn’t just an illustration of population density (a common mistake) but gives readers a way to explore the relationship between school discipline and student homelessness.

Where are the kids? Colorado school enrollment trends shed light on closure discussions

2022-11-10T02:56:34+00:00

As three large metro area school districts grapple with school closures due to declining enrollment, a common question looms: Where did all the children go?

To help answer that question, Chalkbeat looked at school enrollment data, county birth rate data, and U.S. Census data showing the number of children under 18 living in each school district. Looking to the future, we also examined federal school enrollment projections. Some numbers, like enrollment counts for private schools, aren’t available.

We found that lower birth rates played a role, as did some students enrolling in publicly funded but independently run charter schools. Other students ended up in the outer reaches of the metro area as their parents sought more affordable housing.

Below, we shed light on the numbers that contribute to how many students show up to class.

Are there fewer children now than there were 20 years ago?

The answer in some parts of the state is yes, while the answer in other parts of the state is no.

Jeffco Public Schools has seen a steady decline in the number of children. The state’s second-largest district had 14% fewer children under 18 in 2020 living within its boundaries than it had in 2000. The same was true in Littleton Public Schools, which had 15% fewer children.

In several other metro area districts, the number of children has gone up and down, in some cases dramatically. From 2000 to 2020, the number of children living in the Aurora Public Schools district grew 77%. But the numbers were declining by 2015. The same pattern happened in the Adams 12 Five Star, Adams 14, and Denver Public Schools districts.

Rising housing prices often push families out of cities to farther-out suburbs and rural areas where the cost of living is lower and there’s more land to build new single-family homes. Much of the new housing being built in cities and close-in suburbs are the type of apartments that have historically catered to adults without kids.

In a few school districts, the number of children under 18 has exploded. Those districts include 27J Schools, headquartered in the city of Brighton northeast of Denver, and School District 49, which includes parts of Colorado Springs.

The number of children living in 27J increased a whopping 230%. In District 49, which bills itself as the fastest-growing school district in the state, it increased 244%.

The under-18 population in the Cherry Creek School District southeast of Denver also has been growing, but not as dramatically. It grew 33% from 2000 to 2020. The same is true for Greeley-Evans School District 6, where the under-18 population grew 44%. And the number of children living in the Douglas County School District was up 65%.

Have lots of students left district-run schools for charter schools?

In three large districts facing school closures, the answer is yes. But the migration to charter schools only partly accounts for the enrollment drop in district-run schools.

In Aurora Public Schools, in 2005, less than 3% of students were enrolled in charter schools. But the number of students in charter schools doubled from about 3,000 in 2010 to about 6,000, or 16.2% of all Aurora students, by 2020.

In Denver Public Schools, only 8% of the district’s students attended charter schools in 2005. By 2010, that percentage had increased to 11% and by 2020 it was 23%.

Part of the reason is that there were far fewer charter schools in 2005 than there are now. For example, Denver had 20 charter schools in 2005. In 2020, it had 60.

In Jeffco Public Schools in 2010 about 6.8% of students, or about 5,800, attended charter schools. By 2020, nearly 12%, or 9,500, attended charter schools.

In addition, in Jeffco and Aurora, some students attend charter schools authorized by the state and not included in those numbers.

What about babies? Are people just not having as many?

Yes. For most metro area counties, the birthrate is lower now than it was in 2000.

For example, in Denver County, which has the same boundary as the city, the birthrate per 1,000 people fell from 17.14 in the year 2000 to 11.78 in 2021.

The same pattern was true for Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, and Broomfield counties. But demographers are predicting upticks for Douglas and Broomfield counties by 2025. Birthrates in the other counties are expected to stay steady or slightly decrease.

In Jefferson County, the births per 1,000 people decreased from 12.72 in 2000 to 9.23 in 2021. State demographer Elizabeth Gardner said birthrates there have been declining since 2001.

While Jeffco schools may enroll more children in the future, Gardner said she doesn’t expect that overall the district will have as many children as it once did.

“I don’t believe we ever get Jefferson County back to the level of births — or the level of kids they had in 2001,” Gardner said.

Statewide, her office is projecting a rise in children again by approximately 2035, but in part that’s because of more women in the state, not because the birthrate will spike.

Will school enrollment go back up again?

The likely answer is no. Across the country, federal data shows the number of students in U.S. public schools had been trending upward since 1990. Now, the total student counts seem to have peaked in 2019, just before the pandemic.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the number of U.S. students is expected to hover around 49 million students for a few more years before decreasing to about 47 million by 2030. Projections show Colorado’s student count dropping from about 880,597 last year to about 817,300 in the same period.

In some regions, student numbers will increase, but that growth could be in different neighborhoods and communities, depending on housing construction and affordability.

How did the pandemic affect your NYC school’s state test scores? Find out here.

2022-09-28T18:07:40+00:00

New York City officials released state test scores on Wednesday, offering the first glimpse of how the pandemic affected student learning.

Compared with 2019, the last time tests were administered normally, reading proficiency among students in grades 3-8 ticked up 1.6 percentage points to 49%. But math scores plunged 7.6 percentage points, with just shy of 38% of students passing the exam. (Here’s Chalkbeat’s detailed story on those scores.)

But those overall numbers mask important variations from school to school, which often vary in predictable ways. A relatively large swath of city schools admit students based on their prior academic performance, often leading to high test scores, while schools that serve larger shares of low-income students are more likely to post lower scores.

How did your school fare this year? Use our searchable database below to see your school’s math and reading scores.

Chicago schools see COVID vaccination rates backslide with a wave of new students

2022-09-14T21:52:02+00:00

Chicago Public Schools continues to struggle with COVID vaccine uptake as younger, unvaccinated students replace vaccinated graduates, but the district exceeds national averages in most children’s age groups.

Across all district-run schools, the average school vaccination rate is 39.6%, a drop from May when the average school rate was 44.7%. The pattern is mirrored at individual schools across the city, which are experiencing dips in the number of students who have completed the COVID-19 vaccine series, data shows. Rates remain the lowest at predominantly Black schools on the South and West Sides, according to a data analysis by Chalkbeat.

Even though city agencies spent the summer promoting vaccines, the updated numbers reveal the ongoing difficulty Chicago Public Schools faces in getting students vaccinated, even as COVID cases increased during the first weeks back to class.

This year marks the first school year since the start of the pandemic that all school-age students are eligible for the vaccine.

Here are some takeaways from Chalkbeat’s analysis of Chicago’s school-based vaccination data:

Majority Black elementary and high schools had an average vaccination rate of 23%, compared to majority Latino elementary and high schools, which averaged about 48.5%.
Majority Latino schools have lower vaccination rates, with a drop in uptake by about 5.6 percentage points from May to September; majority Black schools saw rates fall by about 3 percentage points over the same time period.
At 70% of schools across the district, less than half of the student population is vaccinated against the virus. At about 30% of schools across the district, less than a quarter of students are vaccinated.
District-run schools had a slightly overall higher vaccination rate than charters at both the elementary and high school level, but uptake among overall majority Black and Latino schools were slightly higher at charter schools.

As of Wednesday, 62.69% of 12- to 17-year-olds, 40.13% of 5- to 11-year-olds, and 1.41% of infants and children 6 months to 4 years old within CPS have completed a COVID vaccine series, according to district data.

Across the city, 73% of 12- to 17-year-olds, 49.1% of 5- to 11-year-olds, and 4.4% of infants and children 6 months to 4 years old have completed the vaccine series as of Sept. 12, city data shows.

Nationally, 60% of 12- to 17-year-olds, 31% of 5- to 11-year-olds, and 7 % of the youngest age group have received one dose as of Sept. 7, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Since July 2021, CPS has partnered with the city’s Department of Public Health, Illinois Department of Public Health, and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to promote vaccines. The district has opened four regional vaccine hubs, over 20 school-based health centers, and hosted more than 1,000 mobile vaccination clinics.

In a statement, Chicago Public Schools said the safety of staff and students was a priority since the onset of the pandemic, noting that promoting vaccination was “a central part” of its strategy.

“The vaccination rate in our District-run schools is ahead of the national average because we have invested resources in promoting vaccines and providing access,” the district said.

The district acknowledged “areas with low vaccination rates” and said it is continuously promoting vaccine efficacy and importance of getting vaccinated.

CPS plans to “double down on our efforts and try to assuage concerns and fears of families in communities who are historically suspicious of perceived government-administered vaccinations,” the statement said.

The district has an ongoing paid advertising campaign that targets zip codes in the city with low vaccination rates.

Ahead of the new school year, district officials also held back-to-school bashes that included vaccination clinics. Despite such efforts, uptake lags, especially at schools on the South and West Side, data shows.

North Side schools in Lake View, North Center, and North Park continue to have the highest uptake with over 70% of students fully vaccinated as of Sept. 6, data shows.

By contrast, schools in predominantly Black neighborhoods including Greater Grand Crossing, Englewood, Oakland, and Burnside had the lowest uptake with less than 20% of students fully vaccinated as of Sept. 6, data shows.

Since students returned to school on Aug. 22, Chicago Public Schools has reported 2,721 student and 1,354 staff COVID cases across district-run schools as of Sept. 13.

Last week, about 736 students and 353 staff tested positive for COVID-19 between Sept. 4 and Sept. 10, down from the previous week when 1,250 students and 465 staff members tested positive for the virus, according to school district data.

The fluctuation in cases comes as students returned to the classroom last month with fewer district-mandated COVID-19 restrictions and a highly contagious BA.4 and BA.5 variant circulating across Chicago.

Currently, only 8.74%, or about 23,220 students, at district-run schools, are signed up for COVID-19 testing. The district has also made rapid home- COVID tests available to students.

Ahead of the new school year, Chicago Public Schools relaxed coronavirus mitigation, continuing its mask-optional policy and school-based COVID-19 testing, but eliminating the quarantine requirement for students exposed to the coronavirus. Quarantines are now only required for those who test positive.

Students and staff identified as close contacts are also required to wear masks for 10 days. This new measure implemented ahead of the school year aims to keep students in class, while also curbing the spread of the virus. It’s unclear how many students have been required to mask following an uptick in cases during the first few weeks.

The changes follow recently updated COVID-19 guidance from the CDC, which nixed test-to-stay protocols and eased quarantine policies for unvaccinated students.

The district is not requiring students to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Instead, officials continue to encourage families to get inoculated in order to protect against severe illness and will be offering vaccination events for students, staff, and families. Information for vaccination events can be found here.

Earlier this month, Dr. Allison Arwady, the city’s health commissioner, said she wasn’t alarmed by the uptick and anticipated more cases with school underway. She noted the availability of vaccines has ushered in a new phase of the pandemic with fewer people dying from the virus. She has urged families, especially those with children from 6 months to 4 years old to get their children vaccinated.

The Chicago’s Department of Public Health has also urged families to get vaccinated against the flu.

City officials last week announced the rollout of 150,000 newly updated COVID-19 booster shots that offer greater protection against omicron variants. The boosters are free and available to anyone 12 and older who has already completed the initial vaccine series.

By getting more people protected against the circulating variant, the city would see fewer transmissions, Arwady said during a press conference last week.

“This is a big deal,” Arwady said. “This gives us a chance to get ahead of the virus.”

More than 1,400 seats remain unfilled on Chicago’s Local School Councils

2022-08-18T17:43:35+00:00

Chicago Public Schools saw its biggest overall voter turnout in a decade for the Local School Councils election this spring, but more than 1,400 seats — mostly at South and West Side schools — remain unfilled, according to data obtained by Chalkbeat.

Across CPS, 1,408 seats remained empty as of Aug. 5, with more than half of the unfilled positions designated for parents. Students, who were the largest voting bloc in the spring election, accounted for 239 vacant seats, followed by community representatives with 212 empty seats, according to data Chalkbeat obtained through a records request. The remaining vacancies were among school staff.

These mini-school boards have been a fixture of Chicago schools for more than three decades, putting school-level decisions in the hands of parents, students, and staff. But as Chicago moves toward a fully elected school board by 2027, it’s not clear what role the hyperlocal governing bodies will play.

Natasha Erskine, who holds LSC training workshops independent of the district through parent advocacy group Raise Your Hand, said it is important to strengthen community participation in LSCs and reclaim parent and community governing power at schools.

“We see this as a critical organizing moment,” Erskine added, “We don’t know what we don’t know about the relationship between LSCs and elected boards —we’ve never had that in the city of Chicago.”

Local School Councils have at least 12 seats. At more than 100 schools, 40% of those seats are unfilled, data shows. About 24 schools did not garner enough applicants to meet quorum and did not hold elections in the spring, according to the district.

South and West Side schools have the highest number of unfilled seats. Garfield Park, Little Village, New City, Englewood, Roseland, Grand Crossing, and Chatham had the highest overall total number of vacancies across schools within each neighborhood, data shows.

Garfield Park has an average of about five vacancies per school, while Little Village and New City both averaged almost four vacancies per school in their neighborhood.

It’s still possible for people interested in being on an LSC to fill these vacant seats. Interested parents and community members are asked to file nomination forms and participate in an interview or presentation during an LSC meeting. Afterwards, LSC members will vote on whether to appoint a candidate to a vacant seat on the council.

In 2021, the Illinois Legislature revised quorum requirements to make it easier for schools to fill vacancies. If the number of members fall below seven because of vacancies, four members are allowed to vote to fill outstanding vacancies.

Erskine attributes the vacancies to barriers such as accessing applications and a lack of information around LSC meetings.

Parents and community members aren’t running at schools where there’s been an “erasure of the LSC” and parents may not even know when meetings are being held, Erskine said.

Information isn’t getting to parents and community members and apathy is setting in, she added.

Instead of relying simply on individual administrators to distribute LSC information, the district should be doing more such as robocalls and emails to ensure information on LSC meetings and elections is readily available to parents and community members, Erskine said.

Local School Councils, a facet of Chicago school governance since the first election in 1989, are elected every two years. The councils vote on the annual school budget, approve the school academic plan, and select and evaluate principals.

The councils are traditionally made up of the school’s principal, six parents, two community members, two teachers, one non-teaching staff, and one to three students. This year, for the first time in the district’s history, elementary students in the sixth grade were eligible to serve one-year terms on their school’s LSC.

“LSCs serve as an important vehicle for participatory democracy, providing a wide variety of stakeholders an opportunity to make important decisions about how students in their communities will be educated,” the district said in an emailed statement.

The Office of Local School Council Relations will work with principals and a school’s LSC to fill vacancies in the fall. Staff and student vacancies will also be filled through an election process or a poll of their peers. The district said it would raise awareness about filling remaining LSC vacancies.

During a speech Wednesday at City Club Chicago, CEO Pedro Martinez said the district saw “the highest engagement in more than a decade for both in our LSC elections for both candidates running for LSC and our parents community members coming out to cast their votes.”

More than 110,700 people voted for council candidates at nearly 500 schools this spring. That’s more than three times as many votes cast than in 2020, when about 35,066 people voted.

The largest turnout was among students, who cast 71,142 votes – a dramatic increase from the 2020 election when only 4,869 students cast a ballot, data shows.

But parent and community voters only saw marginal increases of 2 to 3%, figures show. About 17,065 parents cast a vote in the spring election, compared with 16,802 votes in 2020. Parent voters turned out at higher levels prior to the pandemic when 28,888 cast votes in 2018.

The district has struggled with tepid participation in the last decade. After the 2020 election, about 900 seats remained unfilled — a situation that prompted a wave of appointments by administrators and members from local school councils.

A few days shy of the district’s deadline this March, only 722 candidate applications had been submitted for 6,239 total positions on councils across 509 schools. About 307 schools had no candidates for open positions.

The district ultimately received enough candidates to reach a quorum at 485 of the 509 schools.

The district hosted 100 engagement sessions to promote candidacy and elections. In all, 6,149 parents, students, and community members ran for seats during the April election, compared with 5,910 people running for seats in 2020. The district added more seats for student representatives.

Most NYC schools are losing funding. See what’s happening at your school.

New York City educators and families are finishing this school year worried about how hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts to school budgets will impact their classrooms in the fall. They’re hearing about rising class sizes, losing teachers, and cutting enrichment.

City lawmakers passed a budget deal earlier this month slashing school budgets based on declining enrollment projections: The city’s public schools (excluding charters) have lost 9.5% of their students since the pandemic began.

Mayor Eric Adams’ $215 million cut to schools was somewhat softened by federal coronavirus stimulus dollars. Without that federal funding, Adams would have cut budgets by $375 million, which he plans to do by the 2024-2025 school year.

Schools must typically return money if they enroll fewer students than projected midway through the school year. But Mayor Bill de Blasio held schools harmless from these cuts over the past two years, largely using COVID stimulus dollars. Adams’ plan reverses this policy and goes back to a funding system that’s more closely tied to enrollment.

To show how those cuts affect each school, Chalkbeat created a lookup tool examining changes to Fair Student Funding — the pot of money that makes up 65% of school budgets and is sent to schools months ahead of the next school year. It’s what principals use to hire staff and create programming. The formula provides more money to schools with higher shares of students with disabilities, those learning English as a new language and those struggling academically.

A majority of schools — just over 1,200 — will see cuts in Fair Student Funding, as high as $5 million at Brooklyn’s Fort Hamilton High School, according to a Chalkbeat analysis. Close to 300 schools will see an increase, up to $2.5 million at Queens’ Thomas J. McCann Woodside Intermediate School.

Some education advocates have encouraged families to look up current school budgets and compare them to what’s posted online for schools for next fiscal year, which begins July 1. However, that won’t show an “apples-to-apples” comparison, since schools typically receive all kinds of funding throughout the course of the year.

“A true apples-to-apples comparison would be looking at preliminary budgets for this current school year compared with the preliminary budget for [next year], because that’s really what schools are using to plan for school opening,” said Sarita Subramanian, assistant director of education policy at the city’s Independent Budget Office.

To account for those discrepancies, this tool shows how much Fair Student Funding each school had as of June 2021, as principals planned for this current school year, and compares that to how much schools have right now, ahead of this fall. We included money that schools received to cover for enrollment losses, but excluded additional funding schools may have received for this halfway through this school year, since school leaders didn’t have that money when they planned for the year.

We also included forgiven debts related to enrollment losses that schools may have owed to the education department.

(Some programs and schools may not show up in our tool because there was no information posted for them in Galaxy, the public website where school budget allocations are posted.)

Numbers don’t add up

Education department officials at a Friday City Council budget hearing said about 400 schools are seeing increases, though did not share details on how they calculated those numbers. Nathaniel Styer, a spokesperson for the education department, declined multiple requests for comment on Chalkbeat’s analysis methods.

While the city has said the cuts total $215 million, the actual blow to individual school budgets would have been closer to $132 million, since a chunk of the money was related to fringe benefits that are covered centrally, according to Comptroller Brad Lander. However, a new analysis by Lander found that the cuts this year will actually total nearly three times that amount, at about $372 million. Department officials did not immediately explain the discrepancy.

Schools may see cuts or increases based on rising or falling enrollment projections, but also based on how many high-needs students they are projected to enroll, since those students receive more money under the formula, Styer said.

On top of all of this, the city has reduced the amount of per-pupil funding it provides to schools through Fair Student Funding by about $25 per student, due to a drop in average teacher salaries across the whole system, as first reported by the New York Post.

Schools with veteran teachers earning higher than the citywide average get an extra cushion to help pay their salaries, Subramanian noted.

As they plan for next school year, principals and educators are reporting plans to excess staff and eliminate enrichment programs. While it’s true that fewer students may mean fewer teachers are needed, less funding could mean that principals can’t build out new programming or must increase class sizes — even as the city faces a potential new state law to shrink class sizes.

Additionally, principals have criticized the city for incorrect enrollment projections, resulting in fewer dollars than they’ll need next year. At Friday’s hearing, one City Council member said a principal in her district surveyed every family in her school and found enrollment would be dozens of students higher than the education department’s calculation.

Both City Hall and education department spokespeople have repeatedly refused to share how much enrollment is projected to drop next year. Schools could get money back if they enroll more students than expected, but that money typically arrives after schools have finished hiring for the school year.

Families and educators have forcefully protested the cuts and have questioned why the remaining $5 billion in unspent stimulus dollars can’t be used once again to protect school budgets.

Many City Council members pressed education department officials at Friday’s hearing about why these cuts are happening, in hopes of restoring the funding. The cuts briefly held up a final city budget deal, though all but six of the 51 council members approved the deal earlier this month.

Correction: An earlier version of the lookup table used an incorrect data point for fiscal year 2022. The table and story have been updated to reflect the correct figures, including new totals for schools with highest and lowest increases.

What five graphics tell us about COVID vaccine disparity in Chicago schools

2022-03-28T15:02:44+00:00

At Lawndale Elementary Community Academy on Chicago’s West Side, only 6.7% of students are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. About eight miles north at John C. Coonley Elementary School, just over 90% of students are fully inoculated against the virus.

Those disparities reveal the difficulty Chicago Public Schools has faced in encouraging students to be vaccinated. Although there has been a gradual uptick in overall vaccine rates since December, the nation’s third largest district is still struggling to make inroads at predominantly Black schools on the South and West Sides, according to a data analysis by Chalkbeat.

The school-based data, which reflects fully vaccinated students through March 24, illustrates continued disparities in vaccination rates at predominantly Black schools.

Despite low vaccination rates among schools in areas hard hit by the pandemic, district leaders relaxed safety mitigations by dropping a universal mask mandate earlier this month. The decision was blasted by the teachers union and some parents who said the move would threaten the health and safety of a large swath of unvaccinated students on the South and West Sides.

Across all district-run schools, the average school is 39% fully vaccinated, but rates vary widely.

North Side schools in Lakeview, North Center, and North Park boost the highest vaccine rates with at least 72% of students fully vaccinated. By contrast, Greater Grand Crossing, Englewood, East Garfield Park, and North Lawndale schools average the lowest vaccine rates at 19% or below, according to a Chalkbeat analysis.

The vaccination rates are even lower at charter schools. Across all charter schools, the average school is 33.4% fully vaccinated, data shows.

Here are some takeaways from Chalkbeat’s analysis of Chicago’s school-based vaccination data:

Majority Black elementary and high schools had an average vaccination rate of 22%, compared to majority Latino elementary and high schools, which averaged about 47%.
Majority Latino schools saw a 22% increase in uptake between Dec. 1 and March 24; by contrast, majority Black schools saw an increase of about 11% over the same time period.
Nearly 75% of schools across the district have less than half of their student population against the virus. More than 34% of schools across the district have less than a quarter of their students vaccinated, and nearly 30 schools have less than 10% of their students fully vaccinated.
District-run schools had overall higher vaccination rates than charters at both the elementary and high school levels.

Since July, CPS has partnered with the city’s Department of Public Health, Illinois Department of Public Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to promote vaccines. The district has opened four regional vaccine hubs, hosted more than 600 mobile vaccination clinics and events, and canceled a day of classes for a Vaccine Awareness Day after the pediatric COVID vaccine was approved to encourage families to get their 5- to 11-year-olds inoculated.

Still, these efforts have been marginal in moving the needle, especially at schools on the South and West Side, data obtained by Chalkbeat through multiple records requests show.

North Side schools in Lincoln Park, Lake View, and North Center saw the largest rate increase of 40 percentage points or more between Dec. 2021 and March 2022, data shows.

By contrast, schools in predominantly Black neighborhoods including Greater Grand Crossing, East Garfield Park, Englewood, North Lawndale, South Shore, and South Chicago saw increases of less than 10 percentage points between Dec. 2021 and March 2022, data shows.

Even as COVID cases have declined significantly, health officials say low uptake is a point of concern and that schools should be a centerpiece in the strategy to boost rates. Educating families about the vaccine is key to combating misinformation and increasing uptake, says David Valero, a pediatrician with Esperanza Health Centers, which serves neighborhoods on Chicago’s Southwest Side.

CEO Pedro Martinez, speaking the week the district shifted to mask-optional, acknowledged the vast disparities in vaccination rates. The district remains committed to its vaccine efforts and will continue vaccination events at schools with low uptake, Martinez said.

Earlier this month, Chicago Public Schools said it would “continue to explore ways to improve access to vaccination and encourage parents to pursue this safe and effective protection.”

But Chicagoland Vaccine Partnership, a nonprofit group promoting and hosting mass vaccination campaigns across the city, previously told Chalkbeat that a region-wide effort and eliminating barriers to vaccine access is needed.

Hurdles to access such as transportation, convenient vaccination times, and language barriers still remain an issue for many working-class people, Scott Thorp, senior project manager at the nonprofit, told Chalkbeat last month.

“The more we can remove those barriers to the broader access issue,” he said, “the more likely it is that people are going to get vaccinated.”

Just over half of New York City public school students are fully vaccinated, according to data the education department released Friday.

In total, 59% of the city’s public school students have received at least one vaccine dose and nearly 52% are considered fully vaccinated.

The information is required under City Council law, and includes a breakdown of school-level vaccination rates and the number of students who have consented to in-school COVID testing. Updates will be shared every two weeks. The figures don’t include charter schools.

The data show that there are wide disparities by school and neighborhood. Schools in Brooklyn’s District 23, which includes Ocean Hill, Brownsville and parts of East New York, had the lowest rates of vaccination, with just 38% of students receiving at least one dose. Districts 16, which includes a significant chunk of Bedford-Stuyvesant, and 18, which includes Flatbush and Canarsie, both had vaccination rates of 43%. On Staten Island, the rate is 47%.

“In the coming months, we are working with our partner health care agencies on an outreach campaign to encourage vaccination in the communities with the lowest rates,” education department spokesperson Nathaniel Styer said in a statement.

Manhattan’s District 2 has the highest vaccination rate, with 80% of students receiving at least one dose. That district spans much of Lower Manhattan, some of Chinatown, and the Upper East Side. Not far behind: District 3 in Manhattan, which includes the Upper West Side and part of Harlem, at 77%. Next is District 26 in Bayside, Queens, where 74% of students have at least one dose.

At nearly 250 of the city’s schools, fewer than a third of students have received at least one dose. Out of the city’s nearly 1,600 district schools, the share of students who have been vaccinated with at least one dose ranges from from just 12% to 94%.

The city had previously released information about vaccination rates among children, but had not provided data specific to public students or where they go to school.

Nationally, about 26% of children ages 5-11 are fully vaccinated and 57% of those 12-17 are, according to a New York Times database. Children ages 5-11 became eligible for the vaccine in November; children under 5 are still ineligible.

Public health experts say that information is important to weigh as the state considers whether to lift a mandate to wear masks in schools. Gov. Kathy Hochul has said she will wait until after the mid-winter recess to make a decision. She has said she will weigh a combination of factors, including the positivity rate, vaccination rates, and hospital capacity. On Friday, New York City announced that students will no longer have to wear masks while outside on school grounds, including while playing school-sponsored sports.

CRT Map: Efforts to restrict teaching racism and bias have multiplied across the U.S.

2022-02-02T00:20:54+00:00

Officials nationwide have raced to enact new laws and introduce new policies meant to shape how students discuss the nation’s past — and its present. Many of these efforts have attempted to ban critical race theory, an academic framework that examines how policies and the law perpetuate systemic racism.

In some states, lawmakers have tried to restrict antiracism training or the teaching of what they call “divisive concepts.” But on the opposite end, other states are adding ethnic studies courses or incorporating more about people of color into their learning standards.

The map you see here depicts the depth and breadth of these ongoing efforts to both restrict and expand how a core aspect of American life is taught in our classrooms. So far, at least 36 states have adopted or introduced laws or policies that restrict teaching about race and racism. With 2022 state legislative sessions underway, new legislation is in the pipeline.

Our map also documents actions taken by state boards of education and executive branches of state governments. In states that haven’t taken such concrete steps, we have spotlighted comments from public officials and other developments to give readers a sense of how the debate is playing out.

The impact of these discussions on classrooms is being felt. This map provides a snapshot of this turning point in American history and education. We’ve also created a timeline of key events and documents that trace the critical race theory backlash from its beginnings during the administration of President Donald Trump.

Chalkbeat is committed to continued coverage of these actions. If you have information about bills, policies, or anything else relevant from your state or hometown, please email us at tips@chalkbeat.org.

75% of NYC public schools enrolled fewer students this year. Here’s a breakdown of every school.

2022-01-28T22:25:53+00:00

A searchable database of school-level enrollment trends is at the end of this article.

New York City school enrollment declines have accelerated during the pandemic, but the losses have not been distributed equally across schools or demographic groups, according to state data released this week.

About three quarters of the city’s public schools saw enrollment declines this year, with nearly 23% losing 10% or more of their students, state figures show. Black and white students in grades K-12 saw the largest drops of all racial groups this school year, declining about 7.5% each. Asian American student enrollment dropped 5%. For Latino students, the drop was 4.5%.

Although some schools with more affluent students have seen significant enrollment declines during the pandemic, with families decamping to the Hamptons or enrolling in private schools, drops among low-income students were far more significant. Enrollment among low-income students fell nearly 7% this year, more than twice the decline of students who are not classified as living in poverty.

Enrollment among students with disabilities, many of whom have struggled with disruptions to in-person services during the pandemic, fell nearly 8% — possibly reflecting significant reductions in referrals for special education services during the pandemic.

The state figures show that overall enrollment in the city’s traditional public schools dropped 5.6% this year among students in grades K-12 to roughly 821,000 students, according to a Chalkbeat analysis. Since the pandemic hit in the 2019-2020 school year, K-12 enrollment has dropped by 9%. City officials noted the state data does not include a slew of nontraditional programs, so the figures are lower compared with the city’s own enrollment tallies.

Due to differences in how city and state education departments report preschool enrollment figures, Chalkbeat has excluded those numbers from its analysis of demographic data. Overall enrollment declines are less significant if preschool is factored in, largely because the city used an influx of federal dollars to expand its prekindergarten offerings for 3-year-olds.

Including pre-K, enrollment is down just 1.9% with 938,000 students in the city’s public schools, not including charter schools, according to city figures released in October.

Enrollment declines matter because the majority of a school’s funding is allocated on a per-student basis. And if a school ultimately enrolls fewer students than the city projected, they may be forced to hand funding back, a practice that generated criticism last school year, as some schools owed hundreds of thousands of dollars.

City officials wound up allowing schools to keep the funding they owed, and that policy will continue this school year, officials said. Reduced funding based on lower enrollment may also be offset to some degree by a boost to school budgets spurred by federal relief money and a long-term increase in state funding.

Student exodus

The state statistics don’t reveal what is causing the declines, which have persisted since well before the pandemic, though the drop has accelerated over the last two years. Some caretakers may have opted to home-school their children out of fear of the coronavirus or the disruptions that classroom quarantines have caused. Others may have opted for charter schools, which have seen enrollment increase. Some families may have left the city entirely. City officials also said that declining birth rates are playing a role.

School systems across the country have also experienced enrollment declines this year, including nearly 6% in Los Angeles and 3% in Chicago, the nation’s second and third largest districts.

At the Earth School in Manhattan, enrollment declined by about 18% to 241 students, state data show. Jia Lee, a fourth and fifth grade teacher, said the drop has meant her classroom has 28 students instead of a more typical 21-24, in part because the school can’t justify hiring a teacher to staff an additional classroom.

“We were told we couldn’t keep our class sizes low because it’s a budgetary issue,” she said, a challenge given the school’s focus on evaluating students narratively instead of with grades. She added that the enrollment drop has not affected the school’s ability to provide art or other programs.

In line with national trends, enrollment declines in New York City have been sharpest in the younger grades. Overall, enrollment in grades K-8 fell 7%, compared with just 2.5% among high schools. Kindergarten enrollment fell nearly 4%, lower than last year’s nearly 11% drop. But first through third grades still saw higher-than-average declines of between 7% and 9%.

For schools that have lost significant numbers of students, there are likely multiple factors at play in and outside of the building. Some parents at the Earth School have opted to move out of state or home-school their children, Lee said.

At Brooklyn’s P.S. 295 which lost about 22% of its students over the past year, and about 15% the previous year, there was a confluence of events that may have led to the decline, families said.

A change in leadership last year may have given some parents pause, and the year before that a beloved parent coordinator left. That parent coordinator was a big help to the school’s Spanish-speaking families who needed free after-care — which the school does not offer on site. He would bring some students to a free program at a nearby school, said P.S. 295’s PTA president Tina Habib. Without that, some families may not have been able to send their children to the school.

Another reason: The school has been embroiled in a high-profile fight since this summer when officials removed a Black Lives Matter and Black Trans Lives Matter mural with a quote from feminist author Audre Lorde: “Your Silence Will Not Protect You.”

“People have expressed concern about the reduced numbers,” Habib said, “But the response from the administration has been: ‘It’s COVID. This is normal. All schools are losing students. Don’t worry about the funding because of the stimulus money.’”

High schools serving most vulnerable take a hit

But even as elementary schools are bearing the brunt of enrollment declines, high schools designed to serve students at risk of dropping out have also seen steep drops.

Among the city’s roughly 50 transfer high schools, which typically serve students who are older and behind in credits, the average enrollment decline was 10%.

At Brooklyn Frontiers High School, a transfer school that aims to graduate students who have struggled with traditional schools, enrollment has declined about 24% this year to just 127 students, state data show.

Eric Wilson, who teaches English, computer science and math, said there have been some unexpected benefits to the drop, including smaller class sizes where teachers can offer more individual support.

But the school is also working to recruit more students because low enrollment can pose an existential threat as it becomes harder to hire staff and run a full set of programs. This year, the school struggled to field a basketball team owing in part to logistical complications related to the pandemic and also since they had fewer students to draw from.

“It’s all hands on deck,” Wilson said. “We’re going out to neighborhoods and business and posting flyers.”

The state data also reveals significant differences by geography. Brooklyn’s District 18, which includes Flatbush and Canarsie, saw enrollment plunge by 11%. In District 9, which includes the South Bronx, enrollment fell 9%.

At the other end of the spectrum, enrollment in Brooklyn’s District 32, which covers Bushwick, fell by less than 1%. District 31, covering Staten Island, also saw low attrition at roughly 2%.

Graduation rates dip across U.S. as pandemic stalls progress

2022-01-24T12:00:00+00:00

This story is a collaboration with The Associated Press.

High school graduation rates dipped in at least 20 states after the first full school year disrupted by the pandemic, suggesting the coronavirus may have ended nearly two decades of nationwide progress toward getting more students diplomas.

The drops came despite at least some states and educators loosening standards to help struggling students.

The results, according to data obtained from 26 states and analyzed by Chalkbeat, are the latest concerning trend in American education, which has been rocked by a pandemic that left many students learning remotely last year and continues to complicate teaching and learning. Some fear that the next several graduating classes could be even more affected.

“It does concern me,” said Chris Reykdal, the schools superintendent in Washington state, where the graduation rate fell by about half a point. “I don’t ever want to see a decline. We’ve made such steady progress.”

In 2020, when schools shuttered for the final months of the school year, most states waived outstanding graduation requirements and saw graduation rates tick up. But the picture was different for the class of 2021. In 20 of 26 states that have released their data, graduation rates fell. Comprehensive national data will likely not be available until 2023.

Those declines were less than a percentage point in some states, like Colorado, Georgia and Kansas. Elsewhere, they were larger. Illinois, Oregon, and North Dakota saw graduation rates drop 2 points, and Indiana, Maine, Nevada, South Dakota, and West Virginia saw declines of at least 1 point.

Where rates increased, growth was modest. Florida had seen graduation rates jump by more than 2 points every year for a decade but gained just a tenth of a point in 2021, even as state officials waived certain diploma requirements.

“We do have to be concerned that grad rates are down and that some number of kids that earned a diploma, they’ve learned less than prior years,” said Robert Balfanz, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Education and director of a research center focused on high school graduation. “What we’re going to have to learn in the future is, how great is the concern?”

Last year’s senior class saw school disrupted in distinct ways. In Nevada’s Washoe County schools, for example, the graduation rate tumbled by 2.6 points as many teens worked longer hours or spent more time caring for siblings.

Counselor Carly Lott stands outside her office at Procter R. Hug High School in Reno, Nevada.

Carly Lott, a counselor at Hug High School in Reno, grew concerned last year as the hours on her students’ pay stubs, which the school collects to offer elective credits, rose from 20 to 30 a week to 40 to 50. Some students worked during remote school days, while others took late-night shifts that left them too tired to concentrate on schoolwork.

Lott made sure students knew about the district’s food bank and grew used to asking, “Do you absolutely need to work, or can you cut back?” As course failures stacked up, a trend schools reported nationwide, counselors nudged seniors to come to school in person to make up missed credits.

“If they were at home, they weren’t engaged — they were doing other things,” Lott said.

One of last year’s graduates, 19-year-old De’karius Graham, had an up-close view of how 12th graders struggled.

There was no prom to look forward to, and all his senior classes at Florida’s Polk County schools were online, an experience he describes as “low social interaction, low teacher interaction.” He often turned to YouTube to figure out confusing assignments.

“It was a lot of self-teaching and self-motivation,” he said. “I was just really alone with it all.”

At the same time, Graham was running his own landscaping business to make money and helping seven school-age siblings with their homework. He also spent time working with a close friend who struggled with online assignments without reliable internet.

Other students got derailed. Eighteen-year-old Lailani Greaves had been behind before the pandemic but was aiming to graduate with the class of 2021. Without in-person connections, her motivation plummeted.

“I didn’t have a clear head where I was focused and able to go every day and catch up on some work and log in to the computer,” she said. “Just talking to a computer — it didn’t feel real.”

The New York City student contemplated dropping out and getting her GED but ultimately transferred to a smaller high school and is hopeful she’ll graduate this year.

“I realized that I could go farther with my high school diploma,” said Greaves, who wants to pursue a career in medicine.

Despite those challenges, statewide graduation rates are still typically higher now than they were a few years ago. But the modest declines are striking departures from recent trends.

In 2001, an estimated 71% of U.S. students who started ninth grade at a public high school graduated four years later. By 2019, that number had jumped to 86%, although the nation’s way of calculating that has changed slightly.

On its face, that increase is one of the biggest recent success stories in American education. A recent Brookings Institution study concluded that the gains were a result of new federal pressure on states and schools and found little evidence that the long-term improvements were due to lower standards.

The causes are much debated, though. A 2015 NPR investigation found that many students graduated with the help of hasty, low-quality credit recovery courses. Some of the states with the nation’s top graduation rates, like Alabama and West Virginia, also have very low test scores.

Some fear that cumulative effects of the pandemic stand to hit future graduating classes hardest. In both Oregon and Nevada, the share of high school freshmen who finished last school year on track to graduate was about 10 percentage points lower than before the pandemic. This school year, attendance has also been unusually low.

Lott worries many seniors won’t graduate on time this year, either.

“We have a significant group of kids on our campus who failed an entire year of high school,” she said. Those students get extra check-ins with Lott, who says it will be hard but not impossible to make up those classes through online credit recovery.

“I tell them, there will be a time that you’re going to want to give up,” she said. “That’s when we need to talk with you, because we can help you through that motivational slump.”

Schools have received large sums of federal aid that could be used to help students to graduate, but Washington’s Reykdal said schools have recently been focused on staffing and safety.

“If I had talked to my districts a year ago, they all would have said graduation and recovery, and right now they’re saying more PPE, finding substitutes,” he said.

Still, some educators are hopeful last year’s dip represents an anomaly. In Peoria, Illinois, where the graduation rate fell 4 points after climbing steadily for years, Superintendent Sharon Desmoulin-Kherat thinks the district’s expanded “safety net” for struggling students will help.

Every week, a team of educators identifies students with failing grades for extra support. The district has also added ways for working students to earn credits in the evenings or on weekends, and has hired three “navigators” to help students who are in the juvenile justice system to finish school.

“It is not easy,” Desmoulin-Kherat said. “It’s definitely a marathon, not a sprint.”

Tennessee’s school-by-school TCAP test scores are out. See how yours did.

2021-09-24T21:08:44+00:00

Nearly six months after Tennessee students sat down for their end-of-year tests, all of the scores are now out.

State officials released the final results Friday for each of the state’s 1,800-plus public schools. Statewide and district-level data was released in August.

The latest scores offer the first pandemic snapshot of how each school did, based on testing of students from grades 3 through high school.

Statewide, overall student proficiency declined 5 percentage points since 2019, the last time the state administered standardized tests under the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program, also known as TCAP.

But some schools did well. Earlier this month, the state recognized 188 for being among the top 5% of schools for student academic achievement or growth. It also dropped seven schools from the state’s priority list of lowest-performing schools.

The new scores spotlight how each school fared after two straight years of disruptions caused by the coronavirus pandemic. It also sets a new baseline for proficiency as schools seek to catch their students up on any learning lags.

But the scores won’t be used to grade or rate schools. Because of the pandemic, Tennessee is only using the data diagnostically to help students and schools improve.

Use the table below to look up what percentage of your school’s students reached proficiency in reading and math (for grades 3-8) or high school courses like Algebra, Biology, English, Geometry, and U.S. History. You can use quotes (such as “Shelby County”) in the search box to more precisely find rows in the data.

The state education department also released its Tennessee Report Card Friday with 2020-21 achievement results, as well as updated demographic information.

The report card offers a single online site for parents to look up information about their child’s school and district, as well as learn about the state’s overall performance on education.

More information is scheduled to be added to the site later this fall, including data that highlights academic growth — not just proficiency. Also coming will be updates about school-level finances and student enrollment in college and other training programs after high school.

“There has never been a more important time for families to engage in their student’s education,” said Education Commissioner Penny Schwinn. “The online state report card provides essential information to help parents learn about their child’s school, as well as districts and schools across the state.”
