The latest results from the 2008-2009 CSAP tests, which were released today, show that Jeffco students continue to outperform the state in all content areas and all grade levels. Jeffco saw scores on 17 CSAP tests increase, seven were down and three were stable.*
“Our CSAP results reflect the teaching and learning that is happening every day in Jeffco classrooms. It’s exciting to also have a new growth measure which will help our staff understand the academic growth of our students from year to year. Combined with CSAP Status Scores (the percentage of students scoring above proficient), it’s a great tool that we can use to help every child succeed”, said Jeffco Superintendent Cindy Stevenson.
Here are the results for Jeffco by subject area:
