- Summary:
-
Several sets of data are analyzed, all of which demonstrate that estimates of achievement rates can differ dramatically when different time periods are used for an evaluation of a compensatory education program. Specifically, it is found that including the summer months in an evaluation often considerably reduces estimates of achievement and hence monthly achievement rates. In other words, achievement gains made during the school year are not sustained, even until the next fall. These findings are consistently supported by the data regardless of the standardized achievement test used, the grade level, the subject area, or the program. An evaluation of a one-year program should at least take account of fall-to-fall achievement. For multi-year programs, evaluations should be based on a time period that includes the summer following each year of the program. Including the following summer in an evaluation will allow the conclusion to reflect the extent to which student achievement is sustained and will, therefore, provide more useful information to those concerned with improving programs.
