The 2019-2020 school year was anything but typical! As a result of school closure due to COVID-19 our students did not have an opportunity to complete end of year assessments and demonstrate the extent of their academic growth. Mid-year testing did indicate:
- 89% of students were at or above grade level expectations in reading
- 92% were at or above grade level expectations in math.
No FSA testing occurred in 2019-2020, so the school’s “Grade” remains at the same level based on student performance from 2018-19.
Our Third Grade Class completed the FSA for the very first time in the 2018-2019 School Year. These 18 students worked very hard to prepare for testing and even though they were nervous, they all did their best. Presented below is data showing how the students performed on the FSA

The “School Grade” provides an easily understandable way to measure the performance of a school. Schools are graded A, B, C, D, or F. In 2018-19, a school’s grade may include up to eleven components. There are four achievement components, four learning gains components, a middle school acceleration, as well as components for graduation rate and college and career acceleration. Each component is worth up to 100 points in the overall calculation. The number of points earned for each component is added together and divided by the total number of available points to determine the percentage of points earned. School Grading Scale: A = 62% of points or greater, B = 54% to 61% of points, C = 41% to 53% of points, D = 32% to 40% of points, F = 31% of points or less.
In 2018-2019, The Harlem Heights Community Charter School was evaluated on the performance of 18 students in 2 achievement areas. Based on this performance, the school received a grade of C for the 2018-2019 school year.
