EOG Scores
On Wednesday, September 2, the Department of Public Instruction released End-of-Grade testing results for the most recent 2014-2015 academic year. While students received their individual scores at the end of last year, yesterday’s release allows us to report our whole-school performance and comparisons with districts and other schools in our area.
We are happy to report that, yet again, Charter Day School and Columbus Charter School provided each the highest scoring elementary and middle schools in their respective counties, Brunswick and Columbus.
Equally exciting is the performance of Douglass Academy. In its first year of End-of-Grade testing, 100% of Douglass Academy’s first class of third graders passed with scores in the highest-designated “Career and College Readiness” standard.
Columbus, Whiteville City, Bladen
Columbus Charter School (CCS) is a replicate, sister K-8 campus of CDS, above, established in Columbus County in 2007 to expand parent access to the successful educational model. It, too, consistently provides the highest performing elementary and middle schools in Columbus County, Whiteville City, and Bladen County school districts. Because CCS serves significant populations of students from each of these three districts, all were used in this comparison.
CCS’s elementary school composite score is 64.5%. Its middle school composite score is 63.6%. For comparison, the state average is 56.6% and surrounding district scores are 44.4% (Columbus), 54.7% (Whiteville City), and 39.5% (Bladen). The average composite score for all CCS students, grades 3-8, is 64.2% — a difference in district scores of 19.8 percentage points in Columbus, 9.5 percentage points in Whiteville City, and full 24.7 percentage points in Bladen.
CCS is the only school— elementary, middle or high— that achieved a school performance grade of “B” in any of these districts.
