Cherokee has a balanced calendar and has had it for years.. Their scores are high, so it is not the calendar's fault the scores were low.

itbs tests are given in September so those score would not have been affected by the calendar that early in the year.

ITBS testing is done earlier in the school year and would not reflect the benefits of the balanced calendar.  The balanced calendar was put in place last year.  CRCT testiing, done toward the end of the academic year, woudl be the criteria on which to judge.  CRCT test scores were higher last year compared with the previous year.
