The Head Start Impact Study is a
longitudinal study that will follow approximately 5,000 three- and
four-year old children across 75 nationally representative grantees
through first grade. The goals of the study are to determine: 1)
how Head Start affects the school readiness of children
participating in Head Start as compared to children not enrolled in
Head Start; and 2) under which conditions Head Start works best and
for which children random assignment is used in the
design.
