Evaluation findings on the Education Consolidation Improvement Act Chapter 1 and Chapter 1 Migrant Programs of the Austin (Texas) Independent School District (AISD) are reported. Included in the text of the report are: program descriptions; reading component descriptions; program impact on student achievement, Texas Educational Assessment of Minimum Skills (TEAMS) scores, and follow-up of pre-kindergarten students; and other program components including institutions for neglected and delinquent students, private schools, health services to migrant students, and parental involvement. Major findings were: (1) that the TEAMS reading performance of Chapter 1 students increased dramatically from 1986 to 1987 compared to other low achievers districtwide; (2) gains in the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills by Chapter 1, Chapter 1 Migrant, and State Compensatory Education students at the elementary level were not significantly different from the achievement gains of low achievers districtwide; and (3) reducing the pupil-to-teacher ratio to 15-to-1 in the targeted schools has not produced consistently higher achievement gains for lower achievers than has the Chapter 1 program.
