Charter Academy of the Redwoods MathScore Testimonial

Thanks to Mathscore and our 7th grade self contained teacher, Mark Schott, We had a group of students that started out two years behind in their math skills at the beginning of the year who ended their 2006-2007 school year with the highest math scores on the 2007 STAR test for a 7th grade class at any of our schools. Their combined class score was better than our College Prep School's 7th Graders class scores from that test year.

As individuals most of the students in the 7th grade class achieved 1.5 years of progress and jumped at least one band over their previous years STAR test scores. All of the student achieved more progress than we had hoped for, resource students through high achievers all showed exceptional improvement. This same group students are now enjoying a third year on Mathscore, they have developed a positive culture of achievement due to their success achieved using MathScore. As new students join their class group, the students are eager to instruct their new classmates on the finer points of using MathScore to build their math skill competencies.

We have since expanded our use of MathScore to our 4th through 8th grades and remedial high school remedial/intensive math support classes, with similar results.

Sincerely ,
