In June, 105 boys and girls graduated from our five Partnership Schools with more than 30% receiving $150,000 in merit-based scholarships to attend excellent high schools. Over four years, for the class of 2011, that’s a total of $500,000. Eighty (80%) percent of our 8th grade students graduated from our schools proficient or advanced proficient in reading and math.
Children attending the Catholic Partnership Schools out-perform the Camden City Public School District and almost all of the charter schools in math and reading. The attached charts show the latest NWEA (Northwest Evaluation Association) results for 3rd grade and 8th grade students with state-wide and Camden district comparisons. For example, Partnership 3rd grade students tested 85% proficient in reading, compared to 60% statewide, and 17% in the Camden school district. The results are impressive and demonstrate what the Partnership has been able to achieve at a fraction of the cost.
