q2 · i1 · causal · r2
Quasi-experimental study during the 2023-24 academic year in a large parochial school district, with 385 middle school students receiving services and 385 matched comparison students; the math analysis included 388 students. The intervention group "significantly outperformed their matched peers" with effect size +0.21.
"Students in the intervention group significantly outperformed their matched peers on the NWEA MAP Growth math assessment (effect size =+0.21)."
