The purpose of this evaluation study was to examine children's longitudinal academic and social outcomes associated with attendance in Georgia's Pre-K Program and to examine the quality of the classrooms attended. This report covers pre-k to 4th grade outcomes collected between the 2013-2014 and 2018-2019 school years as well as a sub-study comparing 3rd and 4th grade outcomes of children who attended Georgia's Pre-K Program with children who did not attend any pre-k program. The primary evaluation questions include: (1) What are the longitudinal outcomes through 4th grade for children who attended Georgia's Pre-K Program?; (2) What factors predict better longitudinal outcomes for children?; (3) What is the quality of children's instructional experiences from pre-k through 4th grade?; and (4) Are there differential long-term outcomes for children with and without Georgia's Pre-K experience?
