Thanks for reading Whatever It Takes, and thanks for writing. There aren't any complete longitudinal studies that fully document the success of the Harlem Children's Zone -- it's still too new. But here are a couple of links that might help. Here are some general <a href="http://hcz.org/our-results" rel="nofollow">stats</a> from the HCZ site. And here is the most recent <a href="http://print.nycenet.edu/SchoolPortals/05/M284/AboutUs/Statistics/default.htm" rel="nofollow">report card</a> for the Promise Academy. Also, Roland Fryer, an economist at Harvard, is working on a paper on the HCZ's results. <a href="http://www.economics.harvard.edu/faculty/fryer/papers_fryer" rel="nofollow">This page</a> should have a link to the paper when it's completed. - Paul Tough Hi Joy. Thanks for reading Whatever It Takes, and thanks for writing. There aren’t any complete longitudinal studies that fully document the success of the Harlem Children’s Zone — it’s still too new. But here are a couple of links that might help.

And here is the most recent report card for the Promise Academy.

Also, Roland Fryer, an economist at Harvard, is working on a paper on the HCZ’s results. This page should have a link to the paper when it’s completed.

Great inspiration...a story very well told. I am a Graduate student currently doing research on parent education models. I am interested in the Harlem Children Zone but unfortunately not been able to find any studies or even self evaluations of the model to give weight to my arguments on its success as a model. Can you help me with this or refer me to research that can help? Dear Paul Tough,
