Getting to Work on Summer Learning

Research shows low-income students suffer disproportionate learning loss over the summer and because those losses accumulate over time, they contribute substantially to the achievement gap between low- and higher-income children. This RAND report highlights lessons learned from Boston, Dallas, Duval County (Florida), Pittsburgh, and Rochester, about how to establish and sustain effective programs that benefit kids.
