Notability[edit]

I have bigtime COI with this article as I helped out with the data management on the project (and was totally surprised to see the article included here), but I don't really think this is notable--it is one of many research projects conducted by universities every year. But I can answer some questions and provide corrections based on my original research and possibly print resources as necessary... Katr67 (talk) 20:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation[edit]

The Chetty paper cited describes Project STAR as "The Student/Teacher Achievement Ratio experiment," and say sit was conducted in Tennessee from 1985-1989 with kindergarten classes. This seems to conflict with the description of the article, which describes Project STAR as "Steps to Achieving Resilience," which took place with Head Start students in Oregon from 1999 - 2003.
