All p values are adjusted for school-level clustering. Across all students, Scholastic students averaged slightly more than 0.5 points larger score gains on the MAP Reading assessment than did virtual comparison students. This overall difference was significant at p < .10 but not at p <. 05. after taking school-level clustering into account 1 . When breaking down by grade level, Scholastic Literacy students in Grades 3 and 4 significantly outgained virtual comparison students, with slightly smaller than 1-point larger gains evidenced for Scholastic Literacy students at both grade levels. Grade 5 students outgained virtual comparison students by slightly more than 0.5 points, and virtual comparison students slightly outgained Scholastic Literacy students in Grade 2; however, neither of these differences reached statistical significance. Subgroup analyses. We also conducted subgroup analyses, where we compared gain scores of Scholastic Literacy students in subgroups of interest, in relation to virtual comparison students. The results of these analyses are summarized in Table 6.

1 When school-level clustering is not taken into account, this impact is statistically significant ( p = .001).
