An independent study by American Institutes for Research and the Brookings Institution found students in Opportunity Culture schools "achieved strong gains in math and reading"; the brief places the study in ESSA tier 2, "moderate evidence." Team teachers started on average at the 50th percentile and reached the 66th–72nd (reading) and 75th–85th (math) percentiles on MCL teams.

"Strong gains for MCL teams: Teachers on MCL teams produced gains equal to top-quartile teachers in math, nearly that in reading."
