At Edison's Boston Renaissance Charter School, the statewide assessment, also called MEAP, showed fourth graders exceeding the achievement of their statewide comparison group in math, reading, science, and social studies. In addition to the above state and national tests, Edison conducts an analysis of its schools' achievement in primary reading, which is overseen by the Educational Testing Service. In the two sites where matched control groups exist, gains by Edison kindergarten and first grade students substantially exceeded those of students in the control group. Edison also released results from an independent customer satisfaction survey by the Gordon S. Black Corporation of all Edison parents and children at its schools. This data shows a high level of satisfaction among Edison parents, students, and teachers, a point confirmed by the very low mobility rates and waiting lists at Edison schools.
Students are off to a very strong start.
