The CLASS Project completed a third year of implementation in three pioneering school districts, and the results show success in state assessments, dropout rates, and four year high school completion.

Three years after the initial implementation of the CLASS Project, Sherwood and Tillamook noteworthy gains include:

  • Across the three districts, increases in the share of students meeting or exceeding the state OAKS benchmarks was at least twice the improvement for the comparator districts in math and science. In reading and writing, the CLASS districts’ improvement was about 1.5 times the improvement for comparator districts.
  • In math, improvements in each of the three districts also exceeded statewide gains. Two out of three districts demonstrated improvements greater than the state as a whole in the other subjects.
  • The increase meet/exceed rates for Tillamook students was at least three times that for comparator districts for reading, science, and writing. Improvement in math was nearly 2.5 times the comparators’ improvement.
  • The improvement in science meet/exceed rates for Sherwood students was more than twice the increase for comparator districts, and more than 1.5 times the comparators’ improvement in math and writing.
  • Improvements among Forest Grove students also exceeded those of the district’s comparators, with improvements in math meet/exceed more than double the comparators’ improvement.
