    (2017) Minton, Elizabeth (Cassie)
    The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of Head Start programs on a student's academic success in selected first grade classrooms. The sample of this study included 12 students in 2 selected first grade classrooms. Of the 12 students, 6 participated in Head Start and 6 did not participate in Head Start, although they had qualified for participation. Data were collected using STAR Early Literacy results, academic grades, conduct grades, attendance, and standards-based report card rankings.
