  • Teacher Absence and Student Achievement in Jeffco
    Teacher Absence and Student Achievement in Jeffco by Tom Coyne Jeffco's goal is to graduate students who are career and college ready. Taxpayers have invested heavily to achieve that goal: The most recent data show that Jeffco's total revenue is about $11,000 per student per year; this means that on average we invest $126,500 in each Jeffco student over the course of their education in grades K-11 (with kindergarten counted at $5,500). Unfortunately, taxpayers -- not to mention students and their parents -- have been earning a very disappointing return on this investment. Every student in Colorado takes the ACT test in eleventh grade. It is the last comprehensive measure we have of the cumulative result of the taxpayers’ investment in twelve years (K-11) of their education. In 2015, only 44% of Jeffco students met the ACT’s “college and career ready” (C&C) standard in reading, only 44% in math, and only 40% in science. Between 2008 and 2015, over 27,000 Jeffco 11th graders have failed to meet the C&C standard in reading, over 28,000 have failed to meet the math standard, and over 34,000 have failed to meet the science standard. Among Jeffco students eligible for free and reduced lunch (FRL), just 24% met the C&C reading standard, 20% met the math standard, and 18% met the science standard. However, only 50% of non-FRL eligible students met the C&C reading standard, 54% met the math standard, and 47% met the science standard. Jeffco Teacher Absences and Student Achievement 1 Thanks to globalization and the rapidly advancing capabilities of technology, our children will have to make their living in an intensely competitive and highly uncertain world that puts an increasingly high premium on their cognitive abilities.
