There is vast research to demonstrate that the Accelerated Schools model helps schools improve. Click here to see our client success stories.

Increased Test Scores

“There was ample data to show that the student achievement of the Accelerated Schools improved since the project was launched at the respective schools.” ²

“In the fifth follow-up year, the average test scores in the sample schools exceeded the baseline level in both reading and math by a statistically significant amount.” ²

“Students who would have been in the middle of their school’s test score distribution, without the reform, were the most likely to experience an improvement in test scores.” ³

Authentic Learning

“Many teachers have also improved their teaching strategies as a result of the program. Other benefits included more motivated students, increased achievement, improved discipline, greater faculty morale, empowered stakeholders, and improved communication between faculty and between the faculty and administrators.” ²

“Students in Accelerated Schools did activities based on real-life situations more frequently than their counterparts in comparison schools.” ¹

School-wide Empowerment

“Many innovations came to fruition as a result of the Accelerated School Project and have yielded a more positive school climate where all school community members took responsibility for all students. ²

“Findings suggest that teachers achieved a spirit of empowerment; engaged in cooperative instructional planning; and provided enriched, active learning experiences.” ⁴

“Teachers in Accelerated Schools indicated they had more influence on school decisions than teachers in comparison schools.” ¹

Cost-Effective Reform Model

“These findings demonstrate the potential of the Accelerated Schools approach, as it was implemented early in its development, to improve student achievement. Given the difficulty of raising test scores in schools like those in this study and the relatively low cost of Accelerated Schools, these findings are noteworthy.” ³
