STUDENTS WE SERVE

• In 2011-2012, 73% of Citizen Schools students were eligible for free or reduced price lunch.
• The majority of students identified as Latino or African American.
• Over 33% of participants spoke a primary language other than English at home.

COMMITTED TO EVALUATION

• Our internal Program Scorecard defines key outcomes and indicators and enables us to track progress toward goals.
• Our online database tracks dosage and outcomes, allowing staff to identify areas of strength and concern in real time and adjust their practice.
• The next phase of our external evaluation includes a study of schools that adopt Expanded Learning Time in partnership with Citizen Schools.
