Abstract: This quasi-experimental study evaluated the impact of the Filo tutoring program on math, ELA, and science achievement among Grades K-8 students in Jefferson County (AL) Schools (JCS). Using a student-level matched comparison design (N=1,089 treatment, 2,163 comparison), the study examined student performance on ACAP and i-Ready assessments. Results indicated directionally positive impacts on ACAP math, ELA, and science scores, with statistically significant gains in ACAP math observed for male and Black students--a notable outcome given the historical achievement gaps within the district. Although no significant effects emerged for i-Ready scores, a positive association was found between the number of Filo tutoring sessions and ACAP ELA performance.
