Abstract	The Mastery Learning (ML) program in New York City high schools allows teachers to divide course curriculum for English, science and social studies into small learning units which pupils master at their own speed. After a number of units have been completed, summative tests are given. Program goals include better attendance, achievement, and attitudes than are found among students in comparable non-ML classes. This assessment of the 1984-85 ML programs at five Bronx schools includes the following: (1) an introductory discussion of the program's philosophy, background, goals, and objectives, plus information on evaluation methodology and the scope of this report; (2) an in-depth description of program structure, implementation, and activities; (3) outcome data; and (4) conclusions and recommendations. The evaluation found that a number of the program's goals were met and there was a trend towards better performance by students in ML classes. But there was no significant difference between the number of students passing the summative test in ML classes and those passing the same examination in non-ML classes. Technical support goals were only partially met. There was also considerable variety in the way ML techniques were used in the classroom. (PS)
