q3 · i? · causal · r2
Subgroup analysis within the matched comparison design found "larger impacts on students with lower prior achievement in math and Black students." The report notes more research is needed on whether smaller group sizes drive larger impacts.
"Saga also had larger impacts on students with lower prior achievement in math and Black students."
