Los Angeles – Green Dot Public Schools averaged a 20-point increase on the Academic Performance Index scores released today by the California Department of Education, with two of its schools exceeding the state's API goal of 800 for the first time. The performance marked the fourth straight year of gains across Green Dot's 18 schools.
In a multi-cohort study released today, UCLA's National Center for Research on
Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST) found that students attending the Locke Family of
High Schools showed significant improvement in student achievement. . .
"Across all of the outcome indicators included in the study, even when the results were not significantly different, Green Dot students performed as well as or better than their comparison students."
"The results for the second cohort of Locke High School students are particularly significant, given that those teenagers were more fully exposed to the Green Dot academic model over time, said Joan L. Herman, who led the study team as director of the research center at UCLA"
