Both are well above state results: their average advantages are 33 points in ELA, 43 in math and 31 in science. Emerson Community Charter has the lowest all-grade results—58% in ELA, 44% in math and 40% in science—but it serves older grades; its results are above state averages in every reported grade-and-subject comparison. Since the schools serve different grade spans, all-grade comparisons between Emerson and the elementary schools are descriptive, not like-grade comparisons.
