The Arts Advantage: Impacts of Arts Education on Boston Students

The findings from existing arts education research tend to be based on small correlational studies or randomized control trials of specific programs for short periods of time versus more generalizable arts education experiences in authentic school settings at scale. The Arts Advantage encompasses an analysis of 11 years of arts education data and district data regarding student engagement, school climate and traditional academic outcomes to examine arts education impacts for K-12 students and includes over 1,500 variables and 615,000 student-level observations.
