Executive Summary Briefing to ACPS School Board December, 2014 The Community Public Charter School: Program Evaluation Report By William E. Deane, MBA, CSPT

Purpose A program evaluation was conducted to evaluate the CPCS in terms of: – Program methodologies – Operating dynamics – Measurable outcomes

Background Information The CPCS opened as a charter school of ACPS in the fall of 2008 The school is designed to be an intervention for middle school students who are at-risk and falling significantly behind in their studies Choice Theory and Mastery Learning concepts are employed in an arts-infused, project- based learning atmosphere

School Demographics Currently, there are 44 students enrolled at CPCS Among these students: – 50.0% are identified for SPED services – 34.1% are economically disadvantaged – 9.0% have limited English proficiency – 2.0% percent are gifted

Financial Statistics CPCS began with $450,000 in federal grant funding Upon exhaustion of grant funding, CPCS has received approximately 70-75% of its funding from ACPS (roughly $330,000 per year) Total cost per student was approximately $10,369 in FY 14, compared to middle school average of $7794 (excluding division-level expenses, Building Services, Transportation, Child Nutrition) Cost to ACPS per student was $7,776

Student Achievement Given the demographics of the CPCS population, standardized test scores vary Students who are falling behind grade level by one or more years attend CPCS as an intervention Of 52 CPCS graduates, information is available for 49 – 12 are current first semester 9 th graders – 29 are on track to graduate on time or early (78%), based on the expectation of earning 6 credits per year in high school

Outcomes Explored Discontinue the program: Students would return to middle schools, based on residence – Small group interventions, based on need would be difficult to replicate at base schools – There is no additional cost for operating the program – A majority of students are on grade level Continue the program “as is”: Make no changes to the operation of the school – Metrics to determine efficacy of the program need to be re- defined – Challenging dynamics of school operation should be explored for possible resolutions

Recommendations General Recommendation: Continue with modifications Strategic Planning: Metrics regarding program efficacy bear revisiting – Recommendation: Establish goals and benchmarks that clearly demonstrate the efficacy of CPCS programs, along with longitudinal measures of success for students

Recommendations Challenging Dynamics and Recommendations: – Classroom space utilization: Current learning space is distributed along 3 different hallways in Burley Middle School Recommendation: Review space utilization to determine if a cohesive block of classrooms is available – Transportation: Current shuttle timing does not permit students to receive the same amount of instruction as other middle school students Recommendation: Review transportation options to determine if a school day of equivalent length to other middle schools is attainable

Recommendations Challenging Dynamics and Recommendations: – Recruiting and Staffing: Most applicants for CPCS vacancies are external and unfamiliar with ACPS, CPCS, and the school culture Recommendation: Utilize CPCS staff in Division- wide professional development to raise awareness of the program, choice theory, and mastery learning
