This report focuses on the School District of Philadelphia’s Renaissance Initiative, the District’s school turnaround model. The Office of Research and Evaluation (ORE) analyzed changes in school-level outcomes in the first three years of the District’s Renaissance Initiative, from 2010-11 through 2012-13, by Renaissance Initiative type, school, and provider. Utilizing outcomes, including changes in enrollment, retention, school climate, and reading and math proficiency, ORE measured changes evident after the first turnaround year and subsequent years. In addition, changes at Promise Academies were compared to those at charter schools and across charter providers over the same years.
A summary of findings and recommendations focused on strategies to improve student learning and performance during a new phase of management and fiscal retrenchment beginning in 2012-13.
