Our impact
Saga Education serves historically underserved young people through personalized, consistent, caring, and best-in-the-world tutorials that result in youth increasing confidence and academic strength so that they see, pursue, and realize their grandest dreams—and it’s working.
Data-backed results
The University of Chicago Urban Labs rigorously evaluated our impact via large-scale randomized controlled trials, the gold standard in program evaluation. Here’s what they found:
Students learn up to 2.5 years worth of math in one academic year.
The opportunity gap* is closed by nearly 50% in one academic year.
Math course failures are reduced by as much as 63%.
Course failures in non-tutored subjects are reduced by as much as 26%.
Student attendance improves by as much as 18 days per academic year.
This is a game-changing impact against a national backdrop of limited success stories of improving academic outcomes.
* Opportunity Gap: Refers to the ways that uncontrollable life factors like race, language, economic, and family situations can create a disparity in educational performance, career prospects, and other life aspirations.
What makes high-impact tutoring successful?
Saga aims to educate policymakers, the education community, and the public about high-impact tutoring as an effective, evidence-based solution to increase academic performance and accelerate educational equity for underserved students.
