Included are all 13 districts which are members of CABE 6. CABE 6 members are geographic comparables and subject to the higher costs of Southwestern Connecticut. In addition to the CABE 6 members, the four districts of DRG B with enrollment approximately 5,000+ students were selected to bring size and socioeconomic balance to the group. Fairfield and Greenwich are the only two districts which fall into both CABE and DRG criteria. Districts are listed below from largest enrollment to smallest.

In Math, GPS held steady at the 90th percentile (Tile A2). ● In 2018, GPS increased the percentage of All Students meeting or exceeding benchmark in both ELA and Math on the SBA and SAT, the two state standardized assessments. ● High Needs student achievement increased across the board in 2018. A significantly higher percentage of students with High Needs met or exceeded benchmark on both the SBA and SAT, in both Math and ELA in 2018. ● In 2018, GPS also improved its performance on the State growth score - the Average Percentage of Target Achieved(APTA) – in both English Language Arts and Math. ● There are no Science results this year due to the transition to the NGSS (Tile A3). ● GHS continues to excel on AP exams with over 90% of students scoring a 3, 4, or 5 on the exam (Tile A4), well in excess of state and national averages. ● From 2015-2016 to 2016-2017, the District moved from the 6th to the 4th highest performance in the State as measured by the CT Next Generation Accountability Index, a composite of 12 academic and non-academic indicators of success. Based on 2018 results, we anticipate improvement on the ELA and Math Performance and ELA and Math Academic Growth indicators on the Connecticut Next Generation Accountability Index (NGAI). The NGAI is published annually and provides a “multifactor perspective of district and school performance.” ● The complete list of the thirteen Board of Education indicators is also attached. ● Supporting details follow. Statistics in green indicate a nominal increase in 2018. 2018 Achievement – 2019-2020 Budget Book 1 4 Q1 Addendum Achievement – English Language Arts ● Achievement statistics are presented for Spring Benchmark STAR (Grades 1-2), SBA (Grades 3-8) and SAT(Grade 11) for both All Students and High Needs Students. ● In 2018 a higher percentage of aggregate students met/exceeded benchmark in ELA on both the SBA and SAT (Table 1). ● Primary grades 1 and 2 had a nominal decline based on STAR Spring benchmarks (Table 1).
