Student Achievement

Link Community Charter School Co-Curriculum

Academic Growth

As Measured by CTB Terra Nova Scores

Over the past ten years, students have grown academically by 2 to 4 grade levels during their two years at Link based on CTB Terra Nova testing. Student growth in reading, language and math is measured by tests administered at the start of the students’ 7th grade year and the end of the 8th grade year.
