Education Northwest partnered with Oregon Mathematics, |
|
Engineering & Science Achievement (MESA) to measure the |
|
effect of program participation by comparing academic |
|
outcomes of two groups of students: those who |
|
participated in MESA and a matched group of peers who did |
|
not. All things that we could measure and are linked to |
|
student academic outcomes--prior achievement, federal |
|
program eligibility, and demographic characteristics-- |
|
were the same or similar among individual MESA students |
|
and their matched peers. The only observable difference |
|
among data collected by the Oregon Department of |
|
Education is that one group participated in MESA, and the |
|
other did not. We found that MESA students were |
|
significantly more likely to graduate from high school |
|
than their peers. Specifically, students who participated |
|
in MESA were 3.13 times more likely to graduate from high |
|
school in four years than students who did not |
|
participate in the program. Stated another way, |
|
participating in MESA appears to increase the probability |
|
of graduating from high school in four years by 21 |
|
percentage points. We did not find any differences in how |
|
MESA interacts with graduation outcomes by students' |
|
gender, race/ethnicity, eligibility for the free or |
|
reduced-price lunch program, or English learner status. |
|
This means MESA is likely to boost the likelihood of high |
|
school graduation in four years for all students. |
