Understanding the performance of the cyber charter COVID cohort

• In Event: TIL- Understanding the performance of the cyber charter COVID cohort

Short Description

Previous research concluded that the cyber charter school COVID cohort resembled prior groups demographically but reported greater success at their prior in-person schools and in cyber schools. As a corollary to those findings, we use data from a large cyber charter network (“National Cyber”) to assess whether students who enrolled in cyber charters due to COVID-related concerns performed better on entry STAR/NWEA assessments, and whether those assessments indicate stronger growth once enrolled.
