Longitudinal analysis of six years of PACT achievement data, 2000-2005

摘要

Palmetto Achievement Challenge Test results from the six-year period from 2000 through 2005 were matched longitudinally for 39,988 (75.8%) of the 52,783 students who were tested in grade 3 in the 1999-2000 school year. The data from the 39,988 students with complete data over the six year period was studied for the students’ PACT achievement progress and for their history of promotion or retention in grade. The study’s findings indicate that there was insufficient growth in student achievement over the six year period to reach our goals.
