ASU Preparatory Academy i3 Final Evaluation Report
Swail, Watson Scott
Educational Policy Institute
In 2013, the Arizona State University (ASU) Preparatory Academy (ASU Prep) was awarded an Investing in Innovation (i3) Grant through the U.S. Department of Education. The district applied with an ambitious grant designed to innovate programming for a total of six schools: two elementary (one Kindergarten through grade 5; one Kindergarten through grade 6), two middle (one grades 6 through 8; one grades 7 through 8), and two high schools (grades 9 through 12). In 2014, ASU Prep contracted with the Educational Policy Institute (EPI) to be the external evaluator of the grant through the programming cycle. This report represents the final report for this grant and provides data from SY14-15 to SY17-18. Included in this report are the final results for the fidelity of implementation and a descriptive analysis of the impact data. As a requirement of this grant, EPI assesses the level of fidelity achieved by ASU for the five years of the grant. All project data were collected by ASU and provided to EPI for analysis. EPI collected additional comparative data from the Arizona Department of Education. This report was due to include an exploratory analysis comparing the achievement of the treatment to comparison cohorts using statewide assessment data. However, the Arizona Department of Education refused to release comparison school data. Thus, these comparisons could not be made. Instead, descriptive data on the treatment cohorts are included. Key findings include the following: The percentage of ASU Prep students in grades 3 and 4 who scored proficient in: (1) Reading increased from 45 percent (SY14-15) to 62 percent (SY17-18); (2) Mathematics increased from 48 percent (SY14-15) to 60 percent (SY17-18); (3) Science remained steady at 66 percent (SY14-15 and SY17-18); and (4) The percentage of ASU Prep students in grades 7 and 8 who scored proficient in: (1) Reading increased from 42 percent (SY14-15) to 47 percent (SY17-18); (2) Mathematics remained steady at 40 percent (SY14-15 and SY17-18); and (4) Science increased from 49 percent (SY14-15) to 52 percent (SY17-18).
