«One theory for low high - school completion rates is that failures in early courses, such as algebra, interfere with subsequent course work, placing students on a path that makes graduation quite difficult,» write authors Kalena Cortes, Joshua Goodman, and Takako Nomi in the article, «A Double Dose of Algebra,» which will appear in the Winter 2013 issue of Education Next and is now available online at www.educationnealgebra, interfere with subsequent course work, placing students on a path that makes graduation quite difficult,» write authors Kalena Cortes, Joshua Goodman, and Takako Nomi in the article, «A Double Dose of Algebra,» which will appear in the Winter 2013 issue of Education Next and is now available online at www.educationneAlgebra,» which will appear in the Winter 2013 issue of Education Next and is now available online at www.educationnext.org.

CAMBRIDGE, MA — A new study of the Chicago Public Schools» (CPS) double - dose algebra policy for struggling 9th grade students — the first such study to examine long - term impacts of this intervention — has found substantial improved outcomes for intensive math instruction on college entrance exam scores, high school graduation rates, and college enrollment rates.

Beyond the student achievement on standardized tests, almost 1/3 of Ariel graduates test out of Algebra before their freshman year — a major achievement considering the dire statistics around math competency and graduation rates in typical public schools.

Our study extends this work to examine the impact of CPS's double - dose algebra policy on such longer - run outcomes as advanced math course work and performance, ACT scores, high - school graduation rates, and college enrollment rates.

We find positive and substantial longer - run impacts of double - dose algebra on college entrance exam scores, high school graduation rates, and college enrollment rates, suggesting that the policy had significant benefits that were not easily observable in the first couple of years of its existence.

It did not have a significant impact on passing rates in 9th - grade algebra, however, or in geometry (usually taken the next year).

One theory for these low high - school completion rates is that failures in early courses, such as algebra, interfere with subsequent course work, placing students on a path that makes graduation quite difficult.

And a report from the Southern Regional Education Board, which supports increasing the number of middle students taking Algebra I, found that among students in the lowest quartile on achievement tests, those enrolled in higher - level mathematics had a slightly higher failure rate than those enrolled in lower - level mathematics (Cooney & Bottoms, 2009, p. 2).»

In the June documents (on page 55) the Regents noted that the historical pass rates for algebra exams had ranged from 64.5 percent to 74.6 percent, but they chose a pass rate of 65.4 percent for June 2014.

When the state took control of the district in 2009, the pass rate on the high school algebra exit exam was only 45 percent.

A sample of 36 Great Expectation model elementary schools were matched with 556 Oklahoma non-Great Expectations elementary schools based on the following variables: ethnicity, free and reduced lunch eligibility, school size, average number of days students absent, percent of parents attending conferences, percent of teachers with advanced degrees, percent passing third grade reading test, district population size, unemployment rate, average household income, teachers per administrator, percent of student's in special education, instructional support budget, and district percent passing Algebra I. Five years of pass rates on third grade reading and third grade math state exams were examined.

If the state lowered the passing score to three on a scale of one to five, with five being the highest, the pass rates would rise to 65 percent for Algebra and 74 percent for English.

Although the gap is closing among students completing algebra by the 10th grade, it has widened on 4th grade reading tests and in high school graduation rates since 2003.
