Project Activities
Research question
- Did the program's flexibility translate into diversity in grantee composition, configuration, structure, and scale?
- Are the services grantees provide aligned with neighborhood needs, as the program intends?
- What are the challenges grantees face in carrying out their programs?
- How much did outcomes shift for the schools in Promise Neighborhoods compared to other similar schools outside of Promise Neighborhoods, among early grantees?
Structured Abstract
Design
This study will describe how the program is implemented, drawing on the experiences of all 25 grantees awarded funds between 2010 and 2018 as captured using surveys of grantees, student records from districts and schools, and annual grantee reports. The study will also compare outcomes for schools in Promise Neighborhoods before and after the grant award to the change in outcomes for similar schools not served by a Promise Neighborhoods grant, focusing on student test scores on state assessments, attendance, and high school graduation rates.
Key findings
Key findings will be available after the report is published.
