Used
meta-analytic and narrative procedures to integrate results of 93 evaluations
of summer school. Found that summer programs focusing on remedial or accelerated
learning or other goals impacted positively on participants' knowledge and skills.
Middle class students showed larger positive effects than disadvantaged students.
Remedial programs had larger effects when the program was relatively small and
when instruction was individualized. (Author/KB)
