Middle School Achievement <br />Overall Achievement <br />Table 17 shows that achievement at the middle school level between the districts <br />has CHCCS pulling away from the OCS. At the elementary level, 2003 -2004 EOG scores for <br />CHCCS ranged from 92.5 to greater than 95 in Reading and Mathematics; for OCS they <br />ranged from 85.3 to greater than 95. At the middle school level, the ranges for CHCCS <br />drop to 89.3 to greater than 95 and for OCS to 83.3 to 92.9. <br />Table 17.

Comparable improvements were not seen for another cohort of <br />students from 7t" to 8t" grade. In terms of math, improvements appear negligible, except <br />for McDougle for the 7t" to 8t" grade cohort. <br />CHCCS /OCS Final Report 30 <br />
