Quality After School Programs Improve Student Achievement
- The Promising After-School Programs Study, a study of about 3,000 low-income, ethnically-diverse elementary and middle school students, found that those who regularly attended high-quality programs over two years demonstrated gains of up to 20 percentiles and 12 percentiles in standardized math test scores respectively, compared to their peers who were unsupervised during the after school hours.
Community & Schools Working Together
- Research shows the most dangerous times for children and teens to get involved in risky behaviors is after school between the hours of 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. The time when parents may not be home from work or school and children may be without adult supervision.

- Decreased Risky Behaviors: A meta-analysis by the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL), reviewing close to six dozen studies of after school programs, found that students who participated in an after school program exhibited significant improvement in their feelings and attitudes and indicators of behavioral adjustment. Students in programs also saw reductions in drug use and problem behavior, such as aggression, noncompliance, and conduct problems.

- Through a partnership with the "Doing Good Matters" Foundation, TGLC offers free healthy snacks and hot meals to students enrolled in our After School, Extended Learning and Summer Camp programs. Children can concentrate best on learning when their stomachs are not empty. Our After School students receive a healthy snack when they arrive. They are also served a hot supper in the after school program. One of kiddos favorite meals is chicken spaghetti with a green salad, whole wheat toast, mandarin oranges, milk and water. We care deeply about our students health and nutrition and offer a variety of healthy menu choices weekly. Research shows that 1 in 4 Mississippians go to bed hungry. Source: FeedingAmerica.org
