- Summary:
-
To determine the accomplishments of children after they had left the Chapter 1 program, a study was made of data from existing school records in six Pennsylvania school districts. The study began in March 1986 with data on 805 students who were in second grade in 1980-81. These included 490 students who were in Chapter 1 programs that year and 315 low achieving students from buildings not eligible for Chapter 1 funds. Data on achievement, attendance, retentions, and participation in other categorical programs were collected from the spring of 1980 through the spring of 1985, covering the period between the end of the students' first and sixth grades. Of six research questions, five dealt with the attainments of Chapter 1 students after they had left the program and one dealt with the patterns of categorical services students received. Results indicated that the Chapter 1 program had a positive impact on the achievement of the participants. They also suggested that Chapter 1 students differed from low achieving students from schools with a higher socioeconomic status and tended to have multiple problems associated with low achievement that makes raising their achievement levels difficult. It is concluded that continued supportive services of some type may be necessary to raise such students' achievement. (RH)
