It had increases in all 3 subjects tested ( reading, math and science). And it did this with no extra funding or staff from CPS, in a low-income neighborhood of Humboldt Park , with a demoralized staff that was beaten up all year by CPS. It did this with no recess or longer day. I only wish CPS could go to Pablo Casals and ask them how they did it, but sadly, almost no one is left there who can answer that. Almost all of the staff is reassigned and looking for jobs this summer. <br /><br /> Still, now that AUSL has taken over , I'm sure they will repeat this great gain next year. I'm sure the fact that only 1 AUSL school had higher gains than Casals this year is just a fluke and next year will be different.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
