Data for the 2002-2003 school year
This years data indicated that the more time children spent in social studies and science tutoring the more their grades increased in these subjects. Also students participating improved or maintained their grades each subsequent school quarter.
 Our first objective for The After-School Tutoring and Play Program during the past year was to provide tutoring for approximately seventy children. Our expectation was that tutoring and homework assistance would help children maintain or increase their grades. In order to meet this objective we planned to provide children with an adequate number of tutors, access to the computer/internet, and a tutoring incentive program (children can earn a "tutoring buck" for the day if they spend at least a half hour in tutoring. Tutoring bucks can be exchanged for school supplies and other prizes). We intended to examine the efficacy of tutoring by inspecting attendance records, tutoring bucks earned in the incentive program, child and parent satisfaction with tutoring, as well as school records. Exceeding our expectations, one hundred and one individual children attended tutoring during the past school year (2002/2003). The tutoring program has grown in size each consecutive year. On any given day two to twenty-one children participated in the program. At least two tutors were available each school day. Children made use of our tutoring incentive program; fifty-five children earned tutoring bucks in the fall and thirty-four youth earned tutoring bucks in the spring. Across all three years the majority of children who participated in tutoring improved or maintained their grades each subsequent school quarter.
