SYTE students were also more likely to stay in the school district of Philadelphia, have been identified for receiving special education services and services for giftedness and had fewer unexcused absences (though more excused absences) suggesting that parents were communicating with the school when the child was absent. Girls performed outperformed the comparison group each year in multiple subject areas on standardized tests, most notably science, while boys only outperformed the comparison group twice 2nd grade spelling and 5th grade math.
The group performed better than a comparison group, however, in some subjects each year although there were no differences in attendance or behavioral indicators in most years. Results showed that most SYTE students were on track to graduate-few showed early warning signs of dropping out although their academic performance on standardized tests in fifth grade was worriesome.

Yoga, pilates, annual trips, birthday/holiday celebrations, and ping pong are all part of a day’s work. The evaluation defined impact according to educationally meaningful program effect sizes (d =.25). We believe good work is powered by employee happiness. The evaluation used propensity score matching to equate SYTE students with a comparison group in kindergarten and looked at academic and behavioral outcomes in first, second, third fourth and fifth grades. This report shares the results of the second evaluation conducted in partnership with ANALYTICA, Inc. Research for Action (RFA) has conducted two evaluations of the Philadelphia SYTE chapter.
