Law Enforcement Mentoring Program: Examining the Impact on Student Performance and School-Related Behavior. Evaluation Report. Volume 7, Issue 2
Terry, Kathy
Houston Independent School District
With a focus on assisting at-risk middle-school students in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) to succeed in school and graduate from high school, HISD and several area law enforcement agencies partnered together to conduct the Law Enforcement Mentoring Program. The purpose of this report is to assess the impact of the law enforcement mentoring program on student academic achievement, attendance, and delinquent behaviors for HISD students. It was found that student participants in the sixth and seventh grade showed an improvement in their reading performance on the 2013 STAAR [State of Texas Assessment of Academic Resources] test; while eighth-grade mentees increased their 2013 STAAR mathematics test performance. Although the Stanford 10 results on the reading, mathematics, language, science, and social science subtests were slightly lower for students after one year in the mentoring program, these differences were not statistically significant from the prior year's results. However, the number of school days missed by students increased 44.2 percent and in-school and out-of-school suspensions also increased.
