The following are this year’s exceptional program accomplishments:
CEI’s after school tutoring program helped 95% of Jefferson’s seniors graduate successfully this year, and 91% of these graduating seniors will be going on to higher education this fall, almost a third of whom (31%) will do so at four-year colleges and universities.
The percentage of Jefferson High School students able to achieve a passing score in math on the
California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) increased from 73% to 76%, while the percentage of
students with passing scores in English Language Arts (ELA) increased from 68% to 75%.
70% of the tenth grade English Language Learners (ELLs) we assisted this year passed the math
test and 39% passed the ELA test, which is much more difficult for them to do than for their
English-fluent peers. These percentages were significantly better than those for other tenth-grade
ELLs.
Pre- and post-data collected for evaluation purposes from 198 students in CEI’s Club Jeff physical education and nutrition education program showed that 85% met seven or more state fitness standards.
There were across-the-board improvements in math and ELA skills in all grades served in CEI’s
Learning Center program at Thomas R. Pollicita Middle School ranging from 45% to 73%.
34 out of 41 high-risk students (82%) at CEI’s Learning Center program at Benjamin Franklin
Middle School raised at least two or more of their report card grades and 30 out of those 41
students (73%) received passing grades in every subject.
Forty-two of the sixty-three students (67%) served in CEI’s M@P mentoring program at Pollicita
Middle School showed improvement in pro-social behavior and fifty (73%) demonstrated improved
social connectedness.
