Given the economic and social advantages of such affluent students, it was difficult evaluating whether their educational success was the result of progressive curriculum or their privileged circumstances. Nonetheless, in 1941 evaluators proclaimed progressive education a success, noting that students from progressive schools did as well as students from nonprogressive schools in their college courses. The study also noted that students from the six schools judged most progressive did the best of any group in college. Conservatives were less impressed, arguing that colleges reduced their requirements for the newest crop of poorly educated progressive students. Radicals questioned the worth of the study to students who were not going on to college. The study was constructed carefully enough, however, that it became a model for many regional imitators, including similar surveys in California and Michigan.
