1 2018 CMAS/PSAT/SAT RESULTS Highlights: • For the eighth year in a row, DPS students have outpaced their classmates statewide in academic growth in English language arts and math. • Since 2005, academic gaps between DPS students and their Colorado classmates have nearly closed: A 25-point literacy gap in 2005 between Denver and Colorado students has narrowed to a 3-point gap in 2018. And a 22-point gap in math skills in 2005 has narrowed to a 2-point gap this year. • DPS has moved from last place among the state’s 12 largest districts in combined academic growth in literacy and math to first place, holding the lead among large Colorado districts since 2012. • Strikingly, in grade 8, our students outperformed the state in English language arts and math this year, compared to 2005, when DPS students were 30 points behind in reading and 29 points behind in math. Challenges: • Results of the 2018 PSAT/SAT exams are disappointing. On the eighth-grade CMAS, our students outpace their classmates statewide. Our ninth-graders on this year’s new PSAT 9, however, significantly underperformed their peers statewide in terms of both status and growth. We are studying these results carefully to determine what happened and how to achieve higher growth. • Our students from all demographic groups have been making sustained academic progress -- for example, students of color gained seven points in English language arts proficiency over the past three years and our English language learners now significantly outperform their peers statewide -- we continue to see persistent gaps in performance. • Continuing to drive growth for our historically underserved students remains our overarching goal. While we are pleased to see continued progress among those students, the gaps remind us of the work in front of us.

DPS students continue to surpass statewide average growth rates in literacy and math.Growth rates declined slightly in literacy after last year’s record gains and increased in math.
State average academic growth is 50 Median Growth Percentile or MGP.Years 2005-2014 include grades 3-10; 2016 and 2017 includes grades 3-9. 2018 includes grades 3-8. Growth is not calculated for 2015 due to transition to CMAS assessment (TCAP to CMAS).
