CPP Indicator Data Unmet Need Number at-risk four-year-olds had no preschool available to them through either CPP or Head Start in the 2014-2015 school year. This calculation factors in the average number of children in first through eighth grade who are eligible for free or reduced price lunch as a percentage of the total first through eighth grade student population. 11,483 Children on local CPP Waiting Lists. Self-reported by school districts. Not all school districts keep waiting lists so this may not represent true unmet need. Exact level of need is estimated to be significantly higher, as described above. 4,160
CPP Indicator Data - Growth 9
CPP Indicator Data Assessments (n 4,000) (n 11,200) (n 61,700) *At-Risk, No History of Preschool is a matched comparison group and is defined as children eligible for free or reduced price meals in first grade during the same year as the CPP cohort, with no history of preschool in CDE data collections. **State Average includes everyone assessed in the year corresponding with the expected grade/year of assessment for the 2003-04 CPP cohort. Therefore, 3rd grade results for State Average equals 3rd grade overall results from 2008, 4th grade = 2009, etc. In order to align with Colorado s new academic standards, CDE introduced the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) in 2012 seventh grade in this particular 10
