Outcomes for Students in a Montessori
Program
A Longitudinal Study of the Experience in the Milwaukee Public
Schools
"This study supports the hypothesis that Montessori education
has a positive long-term impact. Additionally, it provides an
affirmative answer to questions about whether Montessori students
will be successful in traditional schools."
"A significant finding in this study is the association
between a Montessori education and superior performance on the Math
and Science scales of the ACT and WKCE. In essence, attending a
Montessori program from the approximate ages of three to eleven
predicts significantly higher mathematics and science standardized
test scores in high school."
