Why Summer
Learning?
“Socioeconomic [performance] gaps form mainly in the summer, when school is not in session.”
“Nearly every [performance] gap grows faster during summer than during school.”
“Children from higher-SES families learn more over the summer than do their less-advantaged counterparts.”
“Out of school learning during the elementary grades… distinguishes those who fall off the path to high school completion from those who attend four year colleges.”

Executive Summary of Summer 2017 Results
10
Title I Summer program students generally demonstrated less learning loss than peers with no identified summer intervention, especially in grades 3-5 reading and K-2 math.
Middle Grades Promotion program students showed improved attendance, but lower rates of promotion compared to summer 2016.
Middle School STEM students demonstrated slight growth in i-Ready math scores between spring and fall 2017. They also indicated the program challenged them academically.
High school credit recovery programs showed more students participating, but lower attendance and credit recovery rates, compared to summer 2016. A reduction in sites in 2017 is considered a factor.
