Comment Comment by togilvie It sounds strange, but there are lots of potential explanations:1) The pre-k program is "teaching to the test", focusing on higher scores but not the core skills that matter by third grade.2) Parents who opt to send their children to this pre-k program are less engaged than those who keep their children at home.3) The k-3 curriculum doesn't capitalize on the skills gained in pre-k.It's interesting because it's such a non-intuitive result. Could be bad data, but worth checking out.... parent togilvie 11 years ago
