2002 Summer Program

Tests aligned with the summer school curriculum were administered to all elementary, middle, and high school students at the beginning and end of the Summer Enrichment and Success Program (SEAS). Grade level appropriate math pretests and posttests were administered to all SEAS students in grades 1 through 8. The pretests given to students in grades 1 through 8 were identical to the posttests given at the end of the program. High school students were administered either the algebra or geometry portions of the CCSA Mathematics Test at the beginning and end of the SEAS program.

Reading

Elementary school students (grades 1–5) were administered a grade level appropriate reading test. Although all elementary school students were administered both a reading pretest and posttest this is the only group where the pretest was a different test than the posttest. Middle school students were given an appropriate grade level language test (reading and writing) at the beginning of summer school (pretest) and an identical test at the end of summer school (posttest). High school students were given the ninth grade CCSA Reading Test at the beginning and end of summer school.

Writing

Elementary school students were not only administered an identical pretest and posttest, but the test was identical across grades (1 through 5). Middle school students were not given a separate writing test since writing was included as part of their language test.High school students took the ninth grade CCSA Writing test for both the pretest and posttest.

Data Analysis

The pretest and posttest scores were aggregated by grade, subject, and summer school location. Percent correct was used as the comparison metric since the number of items varied across grades and subjects. This year all students taking the pretest were compared to all students taking the posttest, unlike last year where students were matched making identical pretest and posttest groups. This decision was made due to the fact that an unacceptable number of students are lost using a matching model.

The following tables are color coded where blue indicates posttest scores that increased compared to the pretest scores while red indicates the reverse. Due to formatting constraints pretest means are located in the upper row while posttest means are located in the lower row for each school for grades 1 through 8. High school pretest and posttest means are located in adjacent columns along with the number of students used to calculate the mean.
