The impact of the New Tech Network (NTN) design on several academic measures was tested on ninth graders in four schools in one state located in the Southeastern United States. Research questions explored the extent to which achievement test scores, dual credits earned, and dropout rates differed between ninth grade students in high fidelity NTN schools and similar students in traditional schools. A quasi-experimental design using student-level variables from the state's PowerSchool database was conducted in order to test hypotheses related to the research questions. Results suggest that, when implemented with fidelity to the model, there was a significant effect of NTN on achievement test scores as students in NTN schools scored higher on both the End of Course (EOC) Math and English Language Arts (ELA) tests compared to students in control schools. This effect remained after controlling for poverty, race, and preexisting achievement level. Students in NTN schools also were slightly more likely to earn dual credit compared to similar students in control schools. However, there was no effect of NTN participation on dropout rate as students in NTN schools were more likely to be retained in their current grade level and not moving to the next grade level compared to students in control schools.
