Abstract | The purpose of the Houston Independent School District (HISD) and Head Start Collaborative programs is to share the responsibility for closing the achievement gap between economically-disadvantaged children and their more affluent peers. HISD collaborates with the following four Head Start agencies: AVANCE-Houston, Inc. (AVANCE), Gulf Coast Community Services Association (GCCSA), Harris County Department of Education (HCDE), and Neighborhood Centers, Inc. (NCI). This brief compares the academic achievement among third-grade students previously enrolled in HISD-Head Start (dual) and Head Start Standalone prekindergarten programs. Findings in this study suggest a positive relationship exists between dually-enrolled, economically-disadvantaged students affiliated with AVANCE, GCCSA, and HCDE and their academic achievement on the 2016 STAAR English reading and mathematics assessments. This relationship was particularly noted among students affiliated with HCDE as dually-enrolled, economically-disadvantaged students had higher levels of achievement on both the 2016 STAAR English and Spanish versions of the reading and mathematics assessments than their peers who attended the corresponding standalone programs. Findings also show that dually-enrolled, economically-disadvantaged students regardless of Head Start agency, typically achieved both higher mean scale scores and met the 2016 Level II Satisfactory progression standard at higher rates on the STAAR assessments than their economically-disadvantaged peers in the district.
