In 1996, the Office of School Readiness commissioned a longitudinal study of the effectiveness of Georgia's Prekindergarten (Pre-K) Program in preparing four year-olds to be successful in school. The purpose of this study is to understand how differences in children's Pre-K experiences and their experiences during primary school influence their success in school. This executive summary presents the major findings from the fifth and final year of the study conducted by the Applied Research Center at Georgia State University. The full report provides details of the findings and the methods used in the study. View the news release.
