Students' Use of Tutoring Services

This Statistics in Brief reports on the use of tutoring services among public school students enrolled in grades K-12 in 2007.

"Students' Use of Tutoring Services, by Adequate Yearly Progress Status of School," released by the National Center for Education Statistics within the Institute of Education Sciences, compares tutoring of students in schools that had not made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for three or more years and would be required to provide such services with that of students who attended other public schools. Findings include:

* Sixty percent of students attending schools that did not make AYP for three or more years had parents who received information about free tutoring from their child's school or district, compared to 43 percent of students in other public schools.

* Twenty-two percent of students attending schools that did not make AYP for three or more years received free tutoring, compared to 13 percent of students in other public schools.

* Within schools that missed AYP targets for three or more years, the parents of 63 percent of the students who received free tutoring were very satisfied with the tutoring their child received.
