This report is designed to provide New Jersey Congressional legislators with current information on the effectiveness of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act of 1981 (ECIA) Chapter 1 Program in New Jersey. Data on the reading and mathematics performance of ECIA Chapter 1 students in grades 2 through 8 from participating districts were analyzed and reported by type of testing schedule (i.e., spring to spring or fall to spring). Statewide as well as Congressional District results are presented, and a set of recommendations is proposed. Strong positive gains, expressed as Normal Curve Equivalents (NCEs), were achieved statewide in reading and mathematics in both spring to spring and fall to spring testing. In general, New Jersey students performed better than the national norm for ECIA Chapter 1 students, and statewide results were reflected in the results achieved within each Congressional District. Student NCE gains were generally higher in mathematics than in reading, independent of testing schedule. (Author/TJH)
