Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Only about one-third of the 2014-15 NLCI pre-k cohort was still enrolled at NLCI schools in second grade in 2017-18, reducing any expected carryover of full-day pre-k benefits to second-grade outcomes. → Elaine M. Allensworth and Andrew Zou 2020

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Descriptive mobility tracking of the 199 NLCI pre-k students in 2014-15 through spring 2018, shown in Figure 2: 86 were at other CPS schools and 41 had left the district; among 174 second-graders, only 72 had attended an NLCI pre-k. No effect size printed.
"only about one-third of the 2014–15 NLCI pre-k cohort (the first full-day pre-k cohort that existed at all four NLCI schools) was still enrolled at NLCI schools in second grade in 2017–18."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- NLCI high school outcomes were lower than those of similar students at other CPS schools for most years of the initiative — related
- Test scores in grades 2-8 at NLCI schools improved at rates similar to the district, so gains cannot be attributed to the initiative — related
- Full-day pre-k funding significantly raised pre-k attendance at NLCI elementary schools relative to matched comparison schools — related
- Eighth-grade graduates fared better in the transition to high school over time, but Freshman OnTrack rates were not consistently higher than at similar schools — related
