Executive Summary: Math 911
Data shows dramatically lower math performance at CBE schools vs. CCSD schools.
Key points from the Kids Come First report on math:- There are more students failing than achieving excellence on the Grade 6 Math Provincial Achievement Test (PAT) – a dramatic reversal of results in the course of a few short years.
- Calgary Board of Education (CBE) schools have an average failure rate over 50% higher than Calgary Catholic School District (CCSD) schools on the Grade 6 and Grade 9 Math PATs. The CBE’s Grade 9 failure rate is also 14% higher than the provincial average.
- The number of students achieving excellence on the Grade 6 Math PAT has declined 20%.
- At least $110 million more would reach CBE classrooms each year if CBE administrative spending was in line with that of the CCSD.

It sounds like the CBE is a mess. Lots of excuses from CBE for unfairness in the numbers but little to address the actual problem of kids failing and being unable to do math.
