External Evaluations
An external evaluation by the Urban Institute has shown that students are three times more likely to enroll in post-secondary education when working with one of our Education Advocates. Male students of color are seven times as likely to enroll.
In conjunction with the University of Washington School of Social Work and the Community Center for Education Results, NW Education Access conducted a study exploring student narratives of disengagement and reengagement.
