Subclaims¶

q3 i? KIPP middle schools have positive, statistically significant, and educationally meaningful impacts on student achievement in math, reading, science, and social studies, consistent with prior research. → Tuttle 2015

q3 i? KIPP middle schools have significant and substantial positive impacts on student achievement in four core academic subjects: reading, math, science, and social studies. → Christina Clark Tuttle 2013

Evidence¶

Tuttle 2015¶

Tuttle, C. C., Gleason, P., Knechtel, V., Nichols-Barrer, I., Booker, K., Chojnacki, G., Coen, T., & Goble, L. (2015). Going to Scale: As KIPP Network Grows, Positive Impacts Are Sustained (In Focus Brief).

q3 · i? · causal · r?

The Key Findings section reports middle school achievement impacts across four subjects, described as consistent with prior research. The brief prints no effect sizes for these subject-level impacts.

"Consistent with prior research, KIPP middle schools have positive, statistically significant, and educationally meaningful impacts on student achievement in math, reading, science, and social studies."

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Multiyear evaluation of KIPP middle schools reporting that the schools "have significant and substantial positive impacts on student achievement in four core academic subjects: reading, math, science, and social studies." No effect sizes are printed on this page.

"This report shows that Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP) middle schools have significant and substantial positive impacts on student achievement in four core academic subjects: reading, math, science, and social studies."
