The purpose of this study was to provide a baseline for future evaluation efforts and inform ongoing Plus program improvement efforts. This study answered the following research questions:

  1. To what extent did attendance improve during and after Plus participation?
  2. What was the educational trajectory of Plus students after they transitioned to another school? What changes were observed in attendance, enrollment, school stability, and discipline?
  3. To what extent did Plus youth graduate from high school or receive a GED?
