The influence of the Athens (Georgia) Tutorial Program upon the academic achievement of 256 low socioeconomic students in grades 3-8 was studied. The study covered a 3-year period. Results showed the positive impact of the program, but accurate evaluation was not possible because complete records were not available. (JAZ)
