While the majority of the 2020-2021 school year was remote learning, CMS released test results from that school to kind of gauge where the students were and how they did during the school year. Superintendent Earnest Winston said the results of this testing showed lower end of course performance among almost all grades in CMS.
The results also indicate the existence of significant educational challenges due to the wide-ranging impact of more than a year of COVID-19 pandemic conditions.
