Academic Performance. Do you think that staying in this school has helped name of student (parent)/you (student) learn more or get better grades? Neither students nor parents attributed improving academic performance to staying in their school of origin. The benefits of the program were seen much more as the psychological benefits of maintaining a social network and community where you are known and supported. Even this benefit was more applicable to elementary than high school students. One high school student said that her “grades were no better from staying at school but she liked seeing her friends”. Another student said that it “isn’t transportation problems, but the family problems that keep her away from school”.
