Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• New Mexico LESC study: community schools operating more than 5 years with full pillar implementation showed better-than-average achievement growth — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Well-implemented community schools improve attendance, behavior, engagement, and academic outcomes, with longer and more sustained implementation associated with more significant outcomes — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• All program types show positive effects when controlling for other influences, with attendance monitoring and incentives, child care, community service, and school restructuring producing the best results — related
