Pupils with Compensatory Educational Needs. Summer Program, 1993.
Dworkowitz, Barbara; And Others
Pupils with Compensatory Educational Needs (PCEN) provides New York State funding for remediation in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies for eligible high school students. During summer 1993, 30,195 students took PCEN-funded summer classes. About two percent were enrolled in Project Outreach, a program for high school dropouts resuming their education and other high-risk students. The program met or exceeded its evaluation objectives. Overall, at least 79 percent of PCEN students with valid data passed at least one course, and 54 percent of those taking a Regents Competency Test passed the test; however, less than 50 percent passed the reading mathematics, and science tests. Fifty-seven percent of students in Project Outreach passed Regents examinations they took, and the passing rates for individual tests for these students were higher than those of other PCEN students. All Project Outreach students who took a Regents writing test passed it. The Office of Educational Research recommends that special attention be focused on increasing the percentage of students who pass Regents examinations in mathematics, reading, and science. Three tables present evaluation findings. (SLD)
