Using publicly available data from the California Department of Education (CDE), the results
show that charter schools are making
significant gains in narrowing the
achievement gap, with African American
students consistently earning higher Academic Performance Index (API) scores and proficiency rates statewide
in many urban districts and across subjects.
Results
show that low - SES
students made statistically
significant gains in social studies and content literacy and, at post-test,
showed no statistically
significant differences from the
students in the high - SES schools: Following instruction, there was no SES
achievement gap on these assessments.
Compared to control groups, not only do
students who participate
in SEL programs demonstrate
significant gains in their social and emotional skills; they
show higher levels of prosocial behavior, more favorable attitudes toward school and others, and better academic
achievement.
