Making the Most of Summer School: A Meta-Analytic and Narrative Review.
Cooper, Harris; Charlton, Kelly; Valentine, Jeff C.; Muhlenbruck, Laura
Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, v65 n1 p1-118 2000
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.
