Analysis shows students who moved to new schools have boosted their test scores
From The Denver Post: Students from schools in Denver that were closed two years ago in a reform effort are performing better academically in their new schools. In 2007, Denver Public Schools shut down eight elementary schools and announced the revamping of programs at five schools in a sweeping reform meant to reduce facility costs and improve student achievement. The analysis of individual student scores from the 2008-09 Colorado Student Assessment Program shows that, at least initially, the effort is working.
