County Ranks Poorly in Exit Test

Weighed down by results in the giant Los Angeles Unified School District, Los Angeles County turned in one of the worst performances in the state on the inaugural high school exit exam, according to data released Wednesday.

The county ranked 57th out of 58 counties in the percentage of ninth-graders who passed the language arts test they took last spring: 55%. On the math section, the county ranked 55th, with 35% of students passing.

By contrast, students in Orange and Ventura counties scored well above state averages.

Statewide, 64% of California ninth-graders in public schools passed the language arts exam, and 44% cleared the math hurdle. Slightly more than one-third of ninth-graders passed both parts of the exam, somewhat below the state’s June estimate of 40%.

The Los Angeles Unified School District had among the lowest scores in the county, with 44% passing in language arts and 24% in math. Just over a fifth of those who took the exam passed both parts.

Under a 1999 state law, students beginning with the class of 2004 must pass the exit exam to receive a high school diploma. California is one of about 30 states with such a requirement.

The exam, which in the future will probably be given starting in 10th grade, is a key piece of Gov. Gray Davis’ testing and accountability program.

Ninth-graders took the test last spring for the first time. It was voluntary last school year only. Nearly eight in 10 ninth-graders--370,000 students--participated.

Trying to put the results in perspective, Delaine Eastin, the state superintendent of public schools, said: “We must remember that this test is the toughest of its kind in the nation and that many of these freshmen had not yet taken the courses covered by the exam, such as algebra.”

In fact, one education analyst said it was encouraging that one-third of the test takers had already met the minimum state standards for graduation.

“They have three more years of academic experience ahead of them,” said Mary Perry, deputy director of EdSource, a nonprofit organization in Palo Alto. “They’ve already passed the first bar.”

Students overall performed far better on the English language arts section than on the math. Stark, though not unexpected, contrasts emerged between girls and boys. The passing rates in language were 71% for girls and 57% for boys. In the reading component, 43% of girls passed, compared to 46% of boys. The pattern was similar in Los Angeles County.

Eastin said the results are consistent with the racial achievement gap that shows up in other state tests.

In L.A. Unified, the race gap was especially wide in math. Only 17% of black and Latino students passed the math test, compared with 56% of whites and 67% of Asians. In language arts, the gap was smaller.

Perry, with EdSource, found it noteworthy that one-third of California students--the percentage that passed the test as ninth-graders--usually complete the requirements for admission to University of California campuses.

The percentage passing the exit exam early “is likely the same cohort that have been prepping for college admission since they were in third or fourth grade,” she said.

Freshmen who did not take the test or who failed it will be required to take it as 10th-graders next spring. Those who passed one section will not have to take that part again. Students will have several chances to pass the exam during their high school careers.

To pass the 6 1/2-hour test, students needed to get 60% of the reading questions right and 55% of the math items. Eastin had backed off a proposal to set the passing score at 70% for both portions, though the passing score is expected to rise in future years.

Amid the overall bleak averages in Los Angeles, a few schools shone, including some of the specialized magnet schools attended predominantly by black and Latino students. The Bravo Medical Magnet, for example, had pass rates of 87% in language arts and 59% in math among the approximately 500 students tested. At King/Drew Medical Magnet, 77% of those tested passed in language arts.

At Granada Hills High, one of the district’s better performers, most of the 1,250 freshmen took the test; 78% passed the English portion and 58% passed the math exam.

“I thought it was pretty easy,” said student Faye Javellana, 15, of Winnetka, who passed both parts.

Rather than highlight such bright spots, however, L.A. Unified Supt. Roy Romer said the district had much work to do.

“I’m not a happy camper,” he said. “We simply cannot allow youngsters to graduate from high school and be illiterate.”

In the last few months, Romer said, he has begun to focus the district’s reform efforts on secondary grades after devoting his first year to comprehensive improvements at the elementary school level.

Test Questions

Ninth-grade students in public schools throughout the state took the California high school exit examination for the first time in spring 2001. The exam, voluntary this year only, covered two parts: English language arts and mathematics. Results for all districts and high schools in California are available on the Web at https://cahsee.cde.ca.gov. Here are some actual tasks and problems:

Word analysis, fluency, reading comprehension:

The following article provides information about a potentially fatal source of food that koalas were given in zoos. Read the article and answer the questions.

Deadly Leaves

Koalas, native to the Australian wilds, initially proved difficult to keep alive in zoos. Because koalas eat nothing but the leaves of the eucalyptus tree, zoos provided them with an unlimited supply of eucalyptus leaves. One zoo even planted eucalyptus trees in a special grove to ensure that the koalas had a continual supply of fresh leaves. However, koalas kept in captivity always died within a year of their arrival at the zoo.

Eventually it was discovered that eucalyptus trees that are less than five years old sometimes generate hydrocyanic acid in their leaves. Taking in small quantities of this acid is fatal to the koala. In their natural habitat, the koalas’ senses tell them which eucalyptus trees have dangerous leaves, and they simply move on to other trees until they find leaves that are safe to eat. But in captivity, when their keepers unknowingly were giving them leaves contaminated with acid, the koalas were left with only two options: eat the poisonous leaves or starve. Either option was fatal to the trapped koalas.

Fortunately, today’s zoos use special tests to distinguish between poisonous eucalyptus leaves and safe ones, and now koalas are eating well and thriving in zoos.

Reading the Results

California has a new test with extremely high stakes for students: the high school exit exam. Beginning with the class of 2004, this year’s sophomores, students will be required to pass the exam to get a diploma.

As ninth-graders in California public schools, most of the class of 2004 took the state’s new graduation exam voluntarily for the first time last spring. About 370,000 students took it in March and May; they represented about 79% of the ninth-grade class.

To fulfill the requirement, students must pass both parts of the test: English language arts and math. Any student who passes one or the other portion need not take that section again. To pass, students had to get 60% of the items correct on the English language arts test and 55% correct on the math. Students will have several chances during their high school years to pass the exam.

The English language arts part included 82 multiple-choice items and two writing tasks. The mathematics section, which included 10 basic algebra problems, contained 80 multiple-choice items. All questions reflected content in the statewide standards.

How to read these tables

* Find the school district.

* Search for the campus. Schools within a district are listed in alphabetical order.

* For each school, the table first lists the percentage of students who passed the math test.

* Next comes the percentage at the school who passed the English language arts portion.

* The next two columns indicate the percentage of females who passed the math and English language arts sections.

* The final two columns indicate the percentage of males who passed the math and English language arts sections.

Note that the percentage of those tested varied widely from school to school and district to district, making comparisons among districts difficult.
