摘要 | Throughout the United States, middle- and high-income students consistently score higher than their low-income peers on language arts and mathematics assessments. The summer months afford an opportunity to provide underserved children and teens with experiences that advance their academic performance and engage them in enrichment opportunities that they might not otherwise have the means to pursue. This report investigates summer program opportunities in Pittsburgh, focusing on free or low-cost programs that provide academic instruction for at least five weeks during the summer. ,Thousands of youth had the opportunity to benefit from summer programming in Pittsburgh in 2016. More than 15,000 slots were available for on-site summer programming organized through the Summer16 campaign, which could theoretically have served almost half of the city's youth. However, there are gaps in the city's ability to serve students who might benefit most. This report therefore provides recommendations for Pittsburgh organizations looking to support summer learning opportunities. |
