Three main questionsWho enrolls? Do academy students
represent a cross-section of the school?
Who stays? Are some groups of students more likely to leave the academy?
Who improves? Does academy students’ performance improve more than non-academy students’?
![Page 4: New Evidence on Performance of California Partnership Academies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814b91550346895db874c8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Who enrolls?In 2009-10, 10th graders in California Partnership Academies were more likely than non-academy 10th graders to:
Be eligible for subsidized lunch
Have parents with less education
Be Latino or African American

But there’s a lot of variation among academies.
Some academiesunder-representstudents in thesegroups.

Who stays?We traced two cohorts of academy students from grade 10 through graduation.
Cohort 1 enrolled in grade 10 in 2008-2009.
Cohort 2 enrolled in grade 10 in 2009-2010.
![Page 14: New Evidence on Performance of California Partnership Academies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814b91550346895db874c8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

About one-third of 10th graders leave their academies after one year.
Most of these stay at the same high school, and almost all stay enrolled in a California public school.
But there’s a lot of variation among academies.

Who improves?Compared to state as a whole in 2004-2005 and again in 2009-2010:
academy seniors had higher graduation rates, and
academy graduates were more likely to complete a-g courses required for admission to public university.
![Page 21: New Evidence on Performance of California Partnership Academies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814b91550346895db874c8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

But again there is variation among academies, especiallyin a-g completionrates.
Apparently some academies emphasizea-g courses more than others.

Who improves: attendance, credits, grades, and test
scoresOn average, year-to-year changes in
academy students’ attendance, credits, and grades were very small.
Changes in test scores don’t differ consistently between academy and non-academy students in the same schools.
But again there are big differences among academies!
![Page 27: New Evidence on Performance of California Partnership Academies](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814b91550346895db874c8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
All this information can be combined into a profile for each academy each year.
This can helpidentify effective practices,and where improvements are needed.
