The Numbers

We enrolled 29 families this year.  This means 29 parents, 28 mothers and one father with 40 children as a part of our early childhood program.

The National Reporting Service asks for four outcomes.  We had eight GEDs as of August; I am hopeful that one student will retest her written language component and do a passable essay.  At least one other was ready to take the test, but never followed through on registering for it.

25 students went up an academic level in at least one area (math or reading or language).  This means a gain from elementary to middle school levels, or middle school to 9th-10th grade, or 9th-10th to 11th-12th.   It can be an arbitrary distinction because going up from 5.9 to 6.0 is a level gain, whereas going up from 6.0 to 8.9 is not a recordable gain.  13 of the 29 students entered the program with at least one elementary grade level score, most often in math. 

  Nine students found jobs and as far as I know, just four enrolled in college.
