Good News from Pickard!!

There is more good news to report from one of the Chicago Public Schools which Schools Count Corp. assists each year. Today we will examine the ISAT scores of Pickard Elementary, a school of nearly 700 students.

The jump in ISAT scores in reading and math is quite noticeable!! In 2010 the percent of students meeting or exceeding state standards in math was 73.7%. By 2011 that percentage rose to 81.7%, an increase of 10.8% percent...quite nice!!

The gains in reading were even more prominent! In 2010 59.3% of the students met or exceeded the state mandate. By 2011, 81.7% of the children met or exceeded the state-set goal. This is meteoric rise of 37.7%!!

It's great to see that the entire Pickard Elementary school family is doing so well. It's is just one of many reasons why we enjoy working with this westside school. Keep up the good work!!
