q3 · i? · causal · r2

Same propensity-score-matched evaluation as the math analysis, reporting ELA outcomes. The report states gains were "equal to an additional 1.9 years of learning in ELA" after one year, persisting up to four years, with the cumulative four-year impact about 89 percent of the poverty gap in ELA.

"Enrollment in a TurnNJ school had positive and statistically significant impacts on student achievement in English language arts that persisted up to four years after enrollment. After one year of enrollment, TurnNJ students had test score gains equal to an additional 1.9 years of learning in ELA relative to similar students at other schools."
