| Title: | WWC Quick Review of the Report "Access to Algebra I: The Effects of Online Mathematics for Grade 8 Students" |
| Description: | Among the students identified by school staff as eligible for the program, those attending schools that offered the online Algebra I course scored higher on the assessment of algebra skills than those attending schools without the program. The estimated effect size of 0.41 is roughly equivalent to moving a student from the 50th to the 66th percentile in algebra achievement. No statistically significant difference existed between the two groups in nonalgebra, general mathematics achievement. |
