Sixty-Seven percent of African-American students passed at Cordova Park

   September 9, 2010

We have learned that a letter similar to one we published from Suter Elementary was also sent home by Cordova Park. In checking FCAT scores in reading, we found that 67 percent of the black students there scored 3 or higher, 24 percent had 4s and 5s. In math, 63 percent scored 3 or higher, 27 percent had 4s and 5s. In writing, 92 percent scored 3 or better and 58 percent were 4s and 5s.

Still all 103 African-American students at Cordova Park were singled out by the school district.
