Learning and practicing academic skills need not end with the regular school year. Summer learning programs provide many students with the additional support and assistance they need to maintain or even increase their achievement. Although summer school is not a *cure all* for improving student achievement, mounting evidence suggests that effective summer school programs can positively impact student learning.
