Is this seriously what they call overwhelmingly positive. Even if they had the sample size to claim this difference is significant, it does look quite small given the variation. Mind you these kids just attended a lot of extra studying hours compared to other kids who did not enroll. Did they even try to control for this?

This %100 looks like someone's attempt to sell an AI product to third world country governments.
