Maureen Downey’s AJC blog featured a piece by Latin Academy Charter School chair Eric Wearne that proudly touts the school’s success. And he’s got good reason to boast: in the school’s first year of operation, 97.8 percent of Latin Academy’s students achieved a “met or exceeded standards” in reading, and 79.1 percent of its students met or exceeded standards in math on the Georgia CRCT exam. It should be noted that the school’s 90 sixth graders—93 percent of whom are free and reduced priced luncheligible—achieved these outcomes while studying Latin. As research has shown that early performance of charter schools almost entirely predicts future performance, Latin Academy should look forward to a bright future.
We featured Latin Charter on our blog last year when it was only three weeks into its first year. Check out this report to see how other public charter schools are using their instructional focus to drive student success.
