The focus of this chapter is to compare Florida Comprehensive Assessment (FCAT) Science scores for traditional chemistry and Chemistry in the Community (ChemCom) students. Data were obtained from archives of the research and evaluation office at Duval County Public Schools. The sample consisted of 87 students with ChemCom as their high school chemistry background and 87 students with a traditional chemistry program as their background. The population examined in this retrospective study consisted of all 11th grade students for 2004-2005 school years at one of the schools in Duval County, Florida who completed a chemistry program on the fall of 2004-2005 school years before the administration of the FCAT Science test in 2005, a total of 174 students. The school guidance counselor assigned the students to ChemCom or traditional chemistry without any preference for either program. Therefore, the study did not use any specific purposeful design of sampling. However, the sample was examined to make sure that it was not biased in terms of gender, achievement, and socioeconomic status. All the students in the sample took the FCAT Science. No significant difference in achievement was noted between the inquiry-based verses traditional chemistry students.
