Full-service school programs are developed to address the unmet social, academic, medical, and economic needs of the students and communities they serve. Although the idea of full-service community schools has existed for over a century. the empirical research base is scant. This study addresses academic progress related to participation in full-service community school after-school programming. Experimental and control groups were used. A repeated measures A NOVA was conducted on the math and reading grade data. it was found that the experimental group had statistically significantly higher post-treatment reading grades than the control group. Post-treatment math grades were also higher in the experimental group then in the control group, but did not reach the .05 level of significance. Implications, limitations, and recommendations for future research are discussed.
