Abstract: Results from an evaluation of a 3-year Success for All program applied under difficult circum stances show positive effects for the kindergarten component but a mix of nonsignificant, positive, and negative results for other early elementary grades. Large negative effects were found for achievement ratings of students'performance in Years 2 and 3 for all cohorts. Previous evaluations have reported results for a limited range of outcome measures and used a narrow range of outcome measures. Future evaluations of Success for All programs should assess attainment of the stated goal of the program—to get all students reading at grade level by Grade 3. This attempt to implement the program in a difficult school implies that the program may not be effective wherever and whenever attempted.
