ANNOTATION: Windham School District (WSD) can provide services at any one time for 18% of those inmates in Texas prisons. Those who receive priority for educational programming are inmates with lower educational achievement levels, are closest to release, and are not a security risk. This report evaluates WSD educational program performance. Sixty-eight percent of those inmates that were eligible participated. WSD students gained an average of 1.5 grade levels while spending an average of 604 hours in the program. Forty-six percent of non-readers became readers, 40% of those functionally illiterate became functionally literate, and 59% on the GED/College Path earned a GED or attended college classes.
