The report's student-achievement section summarizes the UTR study, reporting students of UTR residents and graduates "outperformed those taught by other novice teachers" on most Regents exam comparisons. The report cautions few studies exist because programs are young.

"A 2015 study of the New Visions Hunter College Urban Teacher Residency (UTR) in New York City found that students of UTR residents and graduates outperformed those taught by other novice teachers on 16 out of 22 (73%) comparisons of state Regents exam scores"
