The results showed 90.6 percent of 10th graders scored at or above proficiency in math in 2012 compared to 87.2 percent in 2011 and 85.2 percent in 2007. The state uses the results of the March 2007 CAPT to assess statewide student performance.
In reading, student proficiency decreased to 91.7 percent from 91.8 percent at or above proficiency in 2011 and 85.7 percent in 2007.
In writing, scores increased to 92.4 percent from 89.8 percent at or above proficiency in 2011 and 84.1in 2007.
In science, scores increased to 92.9 percent at or above proficiency in 2012 from 90.9 percent in 2011 but decreased from a high of 94.4 percent in 2007.
At the state level student performance increased in every subject, when compared to 2007 but decreased in some areas when compared to last year. Compared to 2011, performance increased slightly in writing, remained constant in science and reading, but decreased in mathematics.
“We’re pleased to see that there are signs of progress in our schools,” Stefan Pryor, Connecticut Commissioner of Education said That said—while schools are moving more students into Proficient- and Goal-level performance, significant gaps in achievement continue between economically disadvantaged students and their peers. So there is reason for optimism regarding our system’s ability to advance, as well as cause for continuing concern. We need to work together to implement the reforms and initiatives we’ve recently launched in order to build on areas of progress and remedy the persistent problems in our schools.”
