Summary:
A national study completed in 2000 found that despite the increase in knowledge about "what works" in school delinquency prevention, most of the Nation's schools use prevention practices that are either unproven or known to be ineffective. Much of what schools do has not been studied by scientists to develop knowledge of effectiveness. In many schools, poor implementation may limit program effectiveness, even for programs known to be effective when well implemented.

What is the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer?
The Tomatometer measures the percentage of Approved Tomatometer Critics who recommend a certain movie --
or the number of good reviews divided by the total number of reviews.
A good review is denoted by a
