Factors Affecting Achievement Test Scores and Marks of Black and White First Graders.

Entwisle, Doris R.; Alexander, Karl L.

Elementary School Journal, v88 n5 p449-71 May 1988

Investigates whether Black and White first-grade students' cognitive growth as marked by teachers is affected by the same factors as those that affect their growth as gauged by the California Achievement Test. Finds that factors are much more closely matched for White children than for Black. (SKC)
