Descriptive analysis of lesson completion records from sign-in sheets for 50 Project With cohorts in California juvenile justice facilities and group homes. The report states "the average Project With participant who remained at their site for the duration of the lessons completed 11.0 lessons" versus 5.4 for early leavers and 6.9 for late arrivals (n = 155, 166, and 46 respectively per Figure 1).

"the average Project With participant who remained at their site for the duration of the lessons completed 11.0 lessons. In contrast, participants who took only the entry survey (and left their site before the end of the lessons) completed 5.4 lessons."
