Abstract
This study uses chi-square testing to examine end of course performance differences between intervention and non-intervention students in 4 high schools and 3 middle schools in Texas. Each of these schools offers a school within a school (SWS) program focused on Project-Based Learning (PBL) for students. End of Course (EOC) performance for students in the SWS and host campus was statistically compared using Chi-Square testing. Findings suggest that intervention students outperform main campus students in 97% of statistically significant high school comparisons and 94% of significant middle school comparisons.
