Figure 17. TAKS Math (% Met Standard)
4.2 Passed Math Courses 24
From 2003-04 to 2004-05, Figure 18 shows that there was a noticeable, although not significant,
decrease in the percentage of high school case-managed students passing math courses. It is
possible that this noticeable decrease is what precipitated referrals to CIS. From the time of
enrollment in CIS to 2006-07, there was a significant increase in the percentage of casemanaged
students passing high school math courses. This same change over time for noncase-managed
students was not significant. While the differences between groups in 2006-07
were not significant, it is clear from the percentage of case-managed students passing math
courses by 2006-07, that CIS helped these students regain ground initially lost the year they
were referred to CIS.
24 Complete data for this outcome measure was only available for high school students.
