Abstract
This quantitative study examines the relationship between implementation of the 21st Century Afterschool Centers on Education (ACE) program and fourth grade student performance on the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR). The study applied a quantitative, ex-post facto research approach that analyzed data from fourth grade students enrolled in elementary schools within Region One. Results found no significant difference between those schools with implemented ACE programs and those which did not. Discussion and implications for school improvement and intentional use of federal funds are offered.
