This is the article's own promotional assertion about the book's argument, not a tested result; the description states the book is "Rooted in two decades of research on educational policy and practice and real-world success stories from Chicago Public Schools". No effect sizes or study results are printed here.
"Allensworth clearly outlines how schools can improve key performance areas—like attendance, test scores, and graduation rates—by identifying high-impact metrics and fostering a collaborative culture of improvement."
