Head Start Impact Study
Publication date:
A study about the impact of Head Start shows that at the end of one program year, access to Head Start positively influenced children’s school readiness. However, when measured again at the end of kindergarten and first grade, the Head Start children and the control group children were at the same level on many of the measures studied.
