This study, funded by the C.S. Mott Foundation as part of its national research agenda in the after-school field, examined the high school performance of New York City students who participated in after-school programs sponsored by TASC while enrolled in the middle grades during school years 1998-99 through 2001-02.
Overall, the study found positive outcomes in high school attendance and credit accumulation for former middle-grades TASC participants compared to students who attended the same middle schools but did not participate in after-school programs, and to students who attended similar middle schools that did not have TASC programs.
