Individual student outcomes for social-cognitive dispositions, perceptions of school climate, conflict strategy choices, and standardized testing results in language arts were analyzed on the basis of assessments administered after one year of program implementation and compared to pretest values generated by student mediators and non-mediators. Attendance and student perceptions of school safety were also examined after a year of peer mediation at the schools.
