Overall performance fell and gaps widened for Black and Latino students, new scores from tests taken last year show.
Students arrive for the first day of classes of the new school year at Back of the Yards High School in August.
Just two days later, though, district officials offered a more “sobering” look at student achievement with a presentation to the Board of Education of new testing data highlighting what they called “an overall decline in student performance.”The districtwide data showed student proficiency in math and reading fell, with officials proposing a blueprint for addressing gaps that puts a priority on equitable access to resources.
Data from the Illinois Assessment of Readiness, as well as from PSAT and SAT tests, reveal similar declines. The biggest decline was experienced by ninth graders, where 36% of students who took the PSAT“While the data can be very sobering, we know that our students have the resilience to rebound,” Chkoumbova said.
CPS’ plan centers on strengthening its “instructional core” approach, which targets quality curriculums, teacher practices and student engagement. Immediate goals are to increase the number of teachers in classrooms, expand CPS’ Tutor Corps and ensure schools have ample intervention staff to increase student support. Schools with the highest needs will receive priority for resources.
