Tulsa Pre-K Alumni Enroll in College at Higher Rates
September 2022 — A study of 4,033 Tulsa students who entered kindergarten in the fall of 2006 shows that students who participated in the school district’s pre-K program in 2005-06 are much more likely to be in college today. Pre-K boosts both two-year and four-year college enrollments. These findings are reported in a new study “Universal Pre-K and College Enrollment: Is there a Link?”, published in the AERA Open in 2023. The lead author is Professor Bill Gormley.
