improved student performance on standardized end-of-course tests in math and science-by about one-tenth of a standard deviation. This is equivalent to moving a student from the 50th to the 54th percentile.??
Simply put, more good news for the program. Find the WWC caveats and the review, based on a 2007 CALDER study, here.
