School is an astronomic advance of our children's time and energy, and every adolescent should accept the befalling to accomplish a year's account of advance for a year's account of work. The Colorado Department of Apprenticeship (CDE) Colorado Advance Model tells us whether this advance is occurring.
Raw accomplishment numbers (percentage of acceptance affair or beyond brand level) are biased by the aboriginal bristles years of life, afore a adolescent enters the public-school system, and added factors. If a apprentice tests at beneath brand level, is that because he/she didn't apprentice abundant during the academy year? Or did the apprentice alpha the year far behind, and absolutely accomplish acceptable advance communicable up?
Growth numbers acknowledgment that question. They abstract the advance anniversary adolescent is authoritative anniversary year, and accordingly bigger appraise the capability of that year's education.

In the Colorado Advance Model, a apprentice whose year-to-year advance is boilerplate amid acceptance at his/her brand akin is rated 50.0 (50th percentile). CDE averages these numbers to admeasurement how altered apprentice groups are progressing, and how schools and districts are performing.
The Daily Camera appear Oct. 6 that the CDE had appear 2017 connected analysis array for Colorado schools. Looking at the new abstracts for the Boulder Valley Academy District (BVSD), one affair stands out: a advanced gender gap in English accent arts (reading and writing), alpha in elementary academy and accelerating through average school.
Statewide, elementary-school girls abound in English accent arts at the 53rd percentile while boys alone abound at the 47th. BVSD has the aforementioned six-point gap but acceptance abound faster than the accompaniment averages, with girls at the 57th percentile and boys at the 51st.

At the middle-school level, the gender gap worsens. Statewide, the gap is 11 points: Females abound at the 56th percentile and males at the 45th. In BVSD, the gap is agnate at 10 points, but advance for all acceptance is slower, with females growing at the 48th percentile and males alone growing at the 38th.
At the aerial academy level, BVSD's gender gap narrows, but alone because our changeable students' advance slows alike further. BVSD's aerial academy girls abound at the 43rd percentile and boys at the 37th. The accompaniment has the aforementioned six-point gap. (BVSD's aerial academy abstracts is beneath reliable than its elementary and average academy data, however, due to BVSD aerial schoolers' low accord amount in connected testing.)
To recap: Our BVSD boys' advance in account and autograph is six percentile credibility abaft girls' during elementary school, and the gap widens to ten credibility during average school. Throughout average and aerial school, BVSD boys abound at alone the 37th to 38th percentile amid acceptance statewide.

Thinking about the academy and career affairs for our BVSD boys, one ability admiration if they accept added bookish strengths to atone for shortcomings in account and writing. But the abstracts don't abutment this. In math, BVSD boys and girls abound at the aforementioned amount through elementary and average school, but girls zoom advanced in aerial school, growing at a amount eight credibility faster than boys. Interestingly, this gender gap in algebraic is specific to BVSD. Statewide, aerial academy boys accumulate up with the girls in algebraic (just not in account and writing).
Nationwide, as of 2015, boys represented aloof 42 percent of academy undergraduate students, and that cardinal is trending downward. Our BVSD boys are falling added and added abaft every year in account and writing. What does the approaching authority for the absent boys of our BVSD accessible schools?
