[Excerpts from newspaper article] A new analysis from the Hamilton Project suggests that the lives today [of the first children of Head Start] are measurably better in some important ways than those of poor children who never enrolled in the program. Their chances of finishing high school, attending college and earning postsecondary degrees or certificates were higher. [This news story was based on research by Bauer, Lauren and Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach. "The Long-Term Impact of the Head Start Program." Economic Analysis, The Hamilton Project, Brookings Institution, August 19, 2016.]
