An Evaluation of the Public Schools of the District of Columbia: Reform in a Changing Landscape (2015)

Appendix F^*

Student Outcomes: Detailed Data

This appendix complements Chapter 6 by providing more detailed data on a range of student outcomes. The data are all from the D.C. Comprehensive Student Assessment (DC CAS), which was the primary testing vehicle for students in the city’s public schools until 2014.

The 35 figures cover the following:

• Figure F-1 (A-G) shows reading scores for grades 3-8 and 10.
• Figure F-2 (A-G) shows math scores for grades 3-8 and 10.
• Figure F-3 (A-C) shows composition scores for grades 4, 7, and 10.
• Figure F-4 (A-I) shows reading scores that are summarized across grades for various students groups.
• Figure F-5 (A-I) shows math scores that are summarized across grades for various student groups.
