Talent Development, a high school reform initiative, produced substantial educational gains for students in very low-performing schools in Philadelphia. Talent Development increased school attendance by nine days per year for each student. For a high school with 500 first-time ninth-graders, it helped an additional 125 students pass algebra and an extra 40 students complete a basic academic curriculum and get promoted to tenth grade. There are also indications that positive effects are beginning to extend to eleventh-grade math test scores and to graduation rates. Source : MDRC
