After School Programs Impact on Future Student Attendance Rates

A new report from Policy Studies Associates finds that New York City students who attended middle school after-school programs had better attendance in ninth grade, and earned more credits, than similar students who did not. The study, After-School Programs and High School Success: Analysis of Post-Program Educational Patterns of Former Middle-Grades TASC Participants, was funded by the C.S. Mott Foundation as part of its national research agenda in the after-school field.  For more information, and to view the report, click here.
