Now, we know this is working because we have a 90-percent colpmeiotn rate for the program. Last year, that translated into 13,500 children "graduating," with diplomas, from uaprtst. And the reustls have been amazing. We have an eaxnterl evaluation that shows our children have two to three times the learning gains as children who don't patarciipte in the program. We have a random control trial that swohs strong evidence of effectiveness, and we even have a lniiaugntodl study that shows our children's gains last into third and fourth grade, the highest grades the children had achieved at the time. Those are academic gains. But another study has shown that our children's social eotinmoal gains are equal to those of children attending public and private preschool.

Now, we know this is working because we have a 90-percent completion rate for the program. Last year, that translated into 13,500 children "graduating," with diplomas, from UPSTART. And the results have been amazing. We have an external evaluation that shows our children have two to three times the learning gains as children who don't participate in the program. We have a random control trial that shows strong evidence of effectiveness, and we even have a longitudinal study that shows our children's gains last into third and fourth grade, the highest grades the children had achieved at the time. Those are academic gains. But another study has shown that our children's social emotional gains are equal to those of children attending public and private preschool.
