Impact to CPS (Cohort)
27,294 Students, 47% Below (12,828)
11,545 Students move to “Meets” (90%)
Fiscal Impact year 1: $69,271,200 Saved – $12,828 Investment
= $56,443,200 year 1
FACTS
2013 ISAT Reading: 170,758 students
52% were Below Meets
71,718 Below (basic knowledge and skills)
17,076 Warning (limited knowledge and skills
Students in Below are 1-2 years below grade level
Students in Warning are 2+ years below grade level
RESEARCH
Study 1: The average gain was 2.5 grade levels, where n=300.
Study 2: Palm Beach students used iLit for 2 hours in summer school each day and showed 1.8 years of growth in one month of program use.
ASSUMPTIONS 90% of students will realize a gain of 2 grade levels in a year (conservative estimate) Average per pupil cost in CPS = $13,000
Cost per On Level Student = $10,000
Cost per Below Level Student = $16,000
Potential Impact to CPS (Single Student Grade 8)
Investment : $1,000 : iLit License, Tablet, PD
Return: $24,000 : 4 years of “Meets”
(Save $6k per HS year, per student)
