Description:
The federally-funded 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) grant program provides opportunities outside of the regular school day for academic enrichment to help students meet state and local performance standards in core academic subjects. This report summarizes the results of the Center for Research in Educational Policy's evaluation of 21st CCLC programs in Virginia during 2013-2014. The main purpose of the evaluation was to determine whether these programs were meeting the following statewide program objectives: 1) improving student academic achievement in reading; 2) improving student academic achievement in mathematics; and 3) providing opportunities for parental education. In addition, an overview of the success of centers in achieving supplemental objectives is provided in Appendix A. (author abstract)
