Story Behind the Curve

One partner agency reported a data gap: "These 2 measures were not gathered in summer 2019, and we did not have programming summer 2020 due to COVID-19." As they still offered some programming, however, the number of children served/assessed (the denominator) stayed high, artificially depressing the percentages reported here. The corrected percentages (when removing this partner agency's data) is 98% for FY18-19, 94% for FY19-20, and 76% for FY20-21.

Partners

The programs who report data that is aggregated here include:

  • Raising Readers: Harrison Barnes Reading Academy's Summer Reading Buddies and After-School Tutoring
  • YSS: Summer Enrichment

Other agencies report related measures. For example, Boys & Girls Club and Girl Scouts both collect the number of participants who report academic success, while YSS' Kids Club reports academic improvements. See: EPM 2.2g: % of surveyed participants who reported academic success (resultsscorecard.com) These are not included here given the potential variability in students' self-assessment and understanding of this survey prompt; only those using a standardized assessment annually are included in this aggregate.

United Way of Story County, along with partners (ISU and area school districts among them), are in the final stages of a data sharing agreement and data clearinghouse. As such, we hope soon to be able to track and report more comprehensively on how our partners are impacting academic success.
