Project Future Institute’s Outcomes
Since the first pilot program in June 2014, SELF™ has grown from reaching a few students in a successful pilot program to helping over 90 academically at-risk students* over the past two years. The outcomes of SELF™ have proven we can positively impact student attitudes, math skills, and academic performance.
Rising ninth graders* in June 2016, who attended the week-and-a-half SELF™ program (whose math accomplishments were well below grade level before SELF™ ), scored an average of 38% on a pre-SELF™ math test and an average of 80% on a post-SELF™ math test. This same group of students had a first semester average GPA of 2.04 while the average GPA for similarly qualified students who could have but did not attend SELF™ was 1.28. More recently, rising ninth graders* in June 2017, who attended the week-and-a-half SELF™ program, (whose math accomplishments were well below grade level before SELF™), scored an average of 32% on a pre-SELF™ math test and an average of 82% on a post-SELF™ math test.
