This study is the second in a series of studies on the impact of the Head Start full-day prekindergarten (pre-K) program in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) and the third report on the impact of the pre-K program overall. Prekindergarten and Head Start programs are located in 62 of 130 elementary schools in Montgomery County. This study used a rigorous quasi-experimental design to compare the performance of students who attended the Head Start full-day program in 2008-2009 with that of students who attended half-day programs. The analyses tested the statistical as well as practical significance of the difference between reading and mathematics achievement of students in the Head Start full-day program compared with the half-day programs.
