The 39-day Summer Academic Skills Achievement Program in Franklin County, Ohio, was designed to increase the basic reading and mathematics skills of persons of at least high school age. It enabled clients to earn a full credit and up to $200 ($3.35 an hour) for successfully completing the program. Among the major findings of an evaluation of the program are the following: (1) a total of 216 clients were enrolled, and the average daily attendance was 167.8; (2) the age of the clients ranged from 14 to 20 with a median age of 16; (3) about half the clients were males, half females; (4) approximately 87 percent of the clients were black, and 11 percent were non-minority; (5) data from the 137 clients who took a reading or mathematics pretest and posttest, and who attended 80 percent of the program, revealed that there was a statistically significant improvement in their reading comprehension and mathematics computation; (6) the median grade equivalent of reading pretest scores was 7.3; of posttest scores, 8.7; (7) of the 136 clients in the evaluation sample, approximately 46 percent gained one or more years in reading; (8) the median grade equivalent of mathematics pretest scores was 7.4, and the median posttest scores, 8.5; and (9) of the 121 clients in the evaluation sample, approximately 58 percent gained one or more years in mathematics. Due to several problems it was not possible to collect posttest data on non-client individuals who served as controls; therefore it was impossible to determine the degree to which all the positive change could be attributed to the program. Data are presented on 24 tables and figures. (Author/BJV)
