q3 · i? · causal · r2
Comparison of Summer Bridge enrollment for third-, sixth-, and eighth-grade displaced students versus matched comparison students (Figure 3): 24.8%** versus 29.3% the summer after closing (p < 0.01); rates were similar (34.0% vs 34.7%) the prior summer. Receiving schools reported waiting months for academic records, leaving some students without summer assignments.
"However, during the summer after their schools closed, only a quarter of displaced students enrolled in Summer Bridge, compared to 29 percent of students in the comparison group with similar characteristics."
