Data Report:
In their 2024-2025 Data Summary, external independent evaluators Dr. Dever and Dr. Lindström concluded that, “School-level data suggest that the Mikayla’s Voice programming continues to reach a diverse audience of schools. Some participating schools have attendance rates as low as 58%, which may have affected survey response rates, particularly later in the academic year. Statistical evidence from participating secondary schools during the 2024-25 academic year suggests an increase in likelihood of inclusive behavior from pre-test to post-test. This is an important finding, as inclusivity is a proximal goal of the program.
