Summary of Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative (AMSTI) External Evaluations

Evaluation data from the Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative's (AMSTI's) external evaluator indicate that AMSTI is making a dramatic difference by improving student achievement. The study showed "statistically significant differences" between the AMSTI schools and the non-AMSTI schools which served as the control groups.

Improvements were found all across the K–12 system indicating AMSTI's effective across all grade levels. Multiple assessments were taken during the study that showed a clear marked improvement in academia due to the remarkable impact the AMSTI's math and science instruction had on the students. According to findings by the external evaluator, AMSTI schools consistently outperformed matched non-AMSTI schools—often dramatically.
