Doubly robust reweighted regression and PSM analyses of students participating in at least two AP workshops versus matched controls found significant GPA improvements with printed effect sizes of 0.55 sd overall, 0.61 sd language, 0.36 sd math, and 0.33 sd art, including "0.55 sd on overall GPA."

"The evidence supporting Hypothesis 3 came in the form of a significant impact of 0.55 sd on overall GPA, 0.61 sd on language GPA, 0.36 on math GPA, and 0.33 sd on art GPA"
