Abstract | This study examined whether offering low-income families cash rewards for engaging in activities related to children's education, family preventive health care, and parental employment improves family and child outcomes. This quick review focuses specifically on the effects of the Opportunity NYC-Family Rewards program on children's core educational outcomes. The study covered the first two years of this ongoing project and followed more than 9,000 K-12th-graders. It reported a range of education outcomes, including student attendance, academic performance (as measured by New York State test scores), credits earned, test-taking and passing rates, and graduation rates. The research described in this report meets the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards. (Contains 3 footnotes.)
