Window On a Wider World (WOWW) Partner Schools
Initiative Description: In an effort to support rural public schools in Texas, Window On a Wider World (WOWW) began providing fine arts enriched education programming in 2006 to area partner schools that serve students at the elementary grade levels. Data for WOWW partner schools were collected through a written request submitted to WOWW’s executive director.
Study Results: There were statistically significant relationships between participation in WOWW and attendance rates, and student academic performance in mathematics, reading, science, and writing.
