Does Head Start Yield Long-Term Benefits?
Aughinbaugh, Alison
Journal of Human Resources, v36 n4 p641-65 Fall 2001
Using 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data (n=7,787), the relationship between Head Start and school suspensions, grade repetition, and math achievement was examined. Estimates indicate that Head Start does not have long-term benefits, a finding compatible with studies showing that compensatory preschool programs need to be long in duration and intensive.
