What will be an ideal response?
Head Start children perform well and show gains in IQ and achievement scores in the first year or two after they begin elementary school. Over time, the cognitive effects of Head Start fade, and participants' performance on cognitive tests later in childhood is similar to those who have not participated. The lasting benefits of Head Start are that participants are less likely to be held back a grade or assigned to special education classes. They are also more likely to graduate from high school and have greater parental involvement in school. Head start is also associated with gains in social competence and health-related outcomes including immunizations.
