The Impact Evaluation of Race to the Top and School Improvement Grants (RTT-SIG Impact Evaluation) is a study that is part of the Impact Evaluation of Race to the Top and School Improvement Grants (RTT-SIG Impact Evaluation) program. RTT-SIG Impact Evaluation (https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/projects/evaluation/other_racetotop.asp) is a cross-sectional survey that assesses the implementation of the Race to the Top (RTT) and School Improvement Grant (SIG) programs at the State, local education agency (LEA), and school levels, as well as whether the receipt of RTT and/or SIG funding to implement a school turnaround model has had an impact on outcomes for the lowest-achieving schools. Additionally, the study investigates whether RTT reforms were related to improvements in student outcomes and whether implementation of the four school turnaround models, and the strategies within those models, was related to improvement in outcomes for the lowest-achieving schools. The study was conducted using a combination of telephone interviews and web-based surveys targeted to school administrators at the state, LEA, and school levels. Key statistics produced from RTT-SIG Impact Evaluation include State, LEA, and school adoption levels of policies and practices promoted by RTT and SIG, as well as impacts on student outcomes of RTT and SIG funding.
