Flagler's charter schools behind in FCAT

[DrDan]

Students enrolled in Flagler County's three charter schools fared worse than their peers at more traditional public schools on the latest Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test writing test.

The charter schools, as well as other local schools and schools throughout the rest of the state, improved over last year's scores, which were released last week. But the results still show a gap between students in traditional public schools and the charter schools in Flagler County at the fourth- and eighth-grade levels.

Charter schools serve about 850 of the county's nearly 13,000 public school students.

....

In Flagler, the difference was especially apparent at the fourth-grade level. Less than 60 percent of the district's charter school fourth-graders earned four or more points on the test, compared with 85 percent of the district's fourth-graders and 81 percent of their peers statewide.

note - a score of "4" indicates performance at grade-level. Only 60% of charter 4th grade students writing at grade-level!!!!!
