Results

The results of the reforms at Roosevelt High School in Yonkers, New York include an increase in test scores and attendance rates and a decrease in suspension rates. State test scores in spring 2001 showed that 71% of Roosevelt High School's students were at the lowest (failing) level; in spring 2002, a year after the program was put into place, just 33% were still in that category. Attendance among ninth graders increased by 9 percent, while overall suspensions were down 23 percent.
