18. A pattern of
females outperforming males,
whites outperforming ethnic students
Higher SES outperforming lower SES
Under-represented groups not enrolling in virtual courses
Under-represented groups over-represented in credit recovery
What are the implications? What is our response? How do we close the gaps?
Editor's Notes
Essential Question for Enrollment Gap: Are our ethnic and poorer students proportionately represented in online enrollment? Using 2013 student demographic data reported to DESE. 30% of our total enrollment enrolled in Virtual/Online courses that were not Credit Recovery/Edgenuity courses. Overall, a few more females enrolled in these courses than males. Our ethnic population is 28.2% and so is represented well in this enrollment at 29.5%. 70.48% of those taking virtual courses were White. Our Lower-Income students are under-represented as 20%of the enrollment in the virtual courses but 25.9% of our total enrollment.
Essential Question for Achievement in Virtual Courses? Do our ethnic and poorer students perform at the same level as our white wealthier students? The average grade for all students all courses is 78.61%. Females out-performed males with an average of 82.1 to the males 74.48, a difference of over 7 percentage points.
Black and Hispanic students achieved slightly below white students, while Asian students out-performed all student groups. Our lower-income students underperformed out wealthier students at 74.69 gr. Avg vs. a nearly 80% average, lower by nearly 5 percentage points and nearly one grade level.
For Credit Recovery, our male students outnumber female students. Ethnic enrollment is over-represented at 44% compared with 28.2% of our total student population. Whites, with 67.8% of our total population comprise 55% of the enrollment in CR courses. Unbelievable, the SES enrollment is split 50-50, but only 25.9% of our students are F/R lunch while here they account for 50% of the enrollment.
A total of 36 credits were earned during this time-some full, some ½ credits. At first glance, it would seem males and females achieved equally well with the males just edging out the females, but not considering there were 40 males and 28 females. Whites earned double the number of credits as black students and four times as many as Hispanic/Other students, but they also held 55% of the enrollment. Ethnic students made up 44% of the enrollment and earned 41.66% of the credits with Hispanic students achieving ½ the # of credits as Black students, despite fairly balanced enrollment. Surprisingly, Credits earned by SES were equal, just as the enrollment.
PF has one of our largest enrollments with 223 total. Females edge outnumber males in PF enrollment, as do White to Ethnic students and Higher SES to lower SES. And again, females, whites, and higher SES students out-perform male, thenic, and lower SES respectively.
Wellness is one of our larger enrollments with 87 total. Females edge out males in enrollment, white dominates ethnicity and higher income students over F/R. With an average grade of 80.18%, Females outperformed males by 8 percentage points, ethnic students actually edged out white students, but higher income students outperformed lower-income students at nearly 7 percentage points.
Govt. has an enrollment of 36 and here, there are some slight variances from the previous classes. Males still underperform compared to female students, and whites outperform ethnic students, but lower SES outperforms higher SES by nearly 3 percentage points.
In AMH, females outperform males, whites the ethnic students, and higher SES the lower SES. Interesting to note the average grade is a 62% in this group/course, as opposed to higher averages in the high 70s low 80s in other courses.
In AP stats, there is fairly equal gender enrollment, but again, the females outperform the males. However, in this case, ethnic students had a higher average grade than white students, although it should be noted the only ethnicity in this group is Asian. Higher SES achieves higher than lower SES.
An interesting notes about this course/group-No lower SES subgroup; all students pay for their lunch. Female and White students FAR outperform the males and ethnic students by 20 perecentage points and higher.
More males than females in this group. Same with White to Ethnic students and Higher income students outnumber lower SES 3x. The average grade here is a failing grade, which one doesn’t usually see. Also, ethnic students and lower SES students far outperform their white and higher-income counterparts. Females still outperformed males, however.
Enrollment by gender, race, and SES is balanced in this group/course, but the achievement patters persist with females, whites, and wealthier students having higher average grades than male, ethnic, and poorer students, although by somewhat narrow margins and all still with a B average, with the exception of lower SES students.
This small, summer-school course reflects the similar pattern we have seen: Female students dominate achievement as do white students are higher-income students, although by smaller margins and all in a high grade average at 90+%.
Some differences in this group are that ethnic and lower-income students significantly outperformed white and wealthier students. Females still out-achieved males. In all cases by a least a letter grade, 2 in the gender comparison.
Female students outnumber and outperform male students. Interesting note is that White students are outnumbered in the ethnic student group, which also narrowly outperforms whites. Also, lower ses students edge out higher ses students.
Game Design has no females enrolled at all and a 50-50 SES enrollment. Higher income students far outperform lower-income students and whites outperform ethnic students.
