CMS reading results, Grades 3-5, 2009-2010

July 19, 2010

Schools in descending order of white enrollment at the end of the first month of the school year, fall 2009. Sources: N.C. Department of Public Instruction, CMS.

Comparing 2010 fourth-graders to 2009 third-graders at Central Zone schools, 36 schools saw increases in reading scores, while 8 saw decreases.

But between 2010 fifth-graders and 2009 fourth-graders, only 26 saw increases, while 18 saw decreases.

Parents may not think of the fourth- to fifth-grade step as a transitional year or one where the testing should be more rigorous. Perhaps it is. Or are the results a canary in the coal mine?
