Book excerpt: This report on the short-term effects of Upward Bound, a federal pre-college program designed to help economically disadvantaged students complete high school and gain access to post-secondary education, presents interim findings from the Longitudinal Effectiveness Study of Upward Bound based on data on approximately 2,800 students during the first year or two of high school. At present, there are more than 600 Upward Bound projects; they offer intensive instructional programs and are usually hosted by 2-year and 4-year colleges. The study found that: (1) Upward Bound has early positive impacts on students' educational expectations and academic course-taking; (2) students with lower educational expectations initially benefit more from Upward Bound; (3) Hispanic students initially benefit most from Upward Bound; and (4) many students (about 37 percent) who enter Upward Bound leave the program during the first year. After an executive summary and introductory chapter, Chapter 2 presents data on persistence in Upward Bound, and on the Upward Bound services offered. Chapter 3 details short-term impacts of Upward Bound, including the average impact of the program and groups benefitting most. The concluding chapter summarizes findings, compares them to previous findings, and draws implications for program improvement. Eight appendices provide additional detail on research methodology, data interpretation, and statistics. (Contains 18 references.) (Db).

Book excerpt: In January 2009, in the last week of the Bush Administration, the U.S. Department of Education (ED), upon orders from the departing political appointee staff, published the final report in a long running National Evaluation of Upward Bound (UB). The study was conducted by the contractor, Mathematica Policy Research. After more than a year in review, and over a year after the third and final contract had ended, the report was published over objections from the Policy and Program Studies Services (PPSS) ED career technical staff who were assigned to monitor the final Mathematica contract. The report was also published after a "disapproval to publish" rating in the formal review process from the Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE), out of whose program allocation the evaluation was funded. The Mathematica reports from the Upward Bound (UB) study (Myers et. al. 2004; and Seftor et. al. 2009) have had a large impact on policy development for more than a decade. They have resulted in an OMB "ineffective rating" and were used to justify the zero funding requests for all of the federal pre-college programs, UB, Upward Bound Math/Science (UBMS), Talent Search and GEAR UP in President Bush's budgets in FY 2005 and FY 2006. As the original and final Contracting Officers Technical Representatives (COTRs) for the study within the US Department of Education, it was the official job of Drs. Goodwin and Callahan to provide Technical Monitoring of the Upward Bound evaluation contracts. In the final of three sequential contracts, after concerns about the study were raised, Dr Goodwin and Dr. Callahan conducted a Quality Assurance Review (ED-PPSS QA review), and found that the impact estimations from the study being reported by the contractor were seriously flawed--so much so that the basic conclusions Mathematica made concerning the efficacy of the Upward Bound program were impacted. While they have spoken out before on this topic, Dr. Goodwin and Dr. Callahan are speaking out again in 2014, because of the on-going and recent citations of the erroneous findings from the study in Congressional testimony, policy briefs, and public speeches (Whitehurst, 2011, Haskins and Rouse 2013; Decker 2013). These erroneous findings continue to do unwarranted and non-transparent serious reputational harm to the Upward Bound program. The ED-PPSS QA review involved an internal review and analysis of all data files from the study, as well as consultation and replication of results by external statistical experts. The data files reviewed included: the initial sampling frame, the baseline survey, five follow-up surveys, student transcripts, 10 years of federal aid files and 10 years of National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) data. The ED-PPSS QA found that the Mathematica reports were seriously flawed, made unwarranted conclusions about the Upward Bound program, and were not transparent in reporting. Moreover statistically significant and educationally meaningful positive impacts on the key legislative goals of the Upward Bound program were clearly found when the study errors were addressed using standards-based statistical methods. These positive impacts are unacknowledged in the Mathematica reports. This report provides: (1) Highlights from the ED-PPSS Review and Re-Analysis: (2) Major Errors Identified in the Technical Monitors' Quality Assurance Review; and (3) Major Impact Findings from the Re-Analyses.

Book excerpt: Policymakers have long been concerned about the disparities in college attendance between more and less advantaged groups of students. Upward Bound is one of the largest and longest running federal programs designed to help economically disadvantaged students prepare for, enter and succeed in college. Since December 1991, Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., (MPR) has been conducting the national evaluation of Upward Bound for the U.S. Department of Education (ED). The evaluation has focused on program implementation issues and the effects of the program on student outcomes. The "impact study" is designed to measure the impacts or effects of regular Upward Bound on student outcomes, and it is based on a longitudinal evaluation in which eligible applicants from a nationally representative sample of projects were randomly assigned to Upward Bound or to a control group. The results in this document are based on the national evaluation's third follow-up data collection, which was completed in 2000. Because the entire sample of students was beyond high school age by that time, the report includes updated findings on the effects of Upward Bound on high school outcomes. In addition, based on data covering the first few years after sample members left high school, the report addresses the following research questions: (1) What effect does Upward Bound have on students' postsecondary experiences? (2) Who benefits most from Upward Bound? and (3) What is the association between staying in Upward Bound and student outcomes? Findings in this report suggest that for the average student, Upward Bound: (1) increased the number of high school math credits earned by participants; (2) did not affect other measures of high school academic preparation; (3) may have increased enrollment at four-year institutions; and (4) did not affect enrollment at postsecondary institutions more generally when all types of postsecondary institutions are considered. Appended are: (1) Sample Design Unit Nonresponse and Weights; (2) Baseline Characteristics of the Treatment and Control Groups, Third Follow-Up Survey Respondents; (3) Program Effects and Standard Errors; (4) The Effect of Upward Bound on High School Outcomes by Selected Subgroups; (5) The Effect of Upward Bound on College Engagement by Selected Subgroups; (6) Methods Used to Estimate the Effects of Additional Upward Bound Participation; (7) Weighted Standard Deviations for All Outcome Variables; (8) Data Collection; and (9) Sample Sizes and Standard Errors for Reported Impact Estimates. (Contains 29 tables and 3 figures.).
