This paper investigates the intersection of income and race in structuring access to higher education among students that participate in a national high-stakes exam in Brazil. Our objectives are (1) to estimate the probability of students coming from different income strata, racial groups, and performance levels to access higher education and (2)…

Paul L. Morgan; Adrienne D. Woods; Yangyang Wang – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2023
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) overdiagnosis and overtreatment unnecessarily exposes children to potential harm and contributes to provider and community skepticism toward those with moderate or severe symptoms and significant impairments, resulting in less supportive care. Yet, which sociodemographic groups of children are…

Emily E. N. Miller; Alejandro Schugurensky – Sociology of Education, 2025
This article investigates the racial and gender dynamics of educational inequality in suburban public schools in the United States during an era of rapid demographic change. As suburban schools transition from predominantly White enclaves to more diverse settings, it is unclear to what extent the popular narrative of "suburban advantage"…

Snipes, Jason; Jacobson, Alexander – Regional Educational Laboratory West, 2021
Middle school is an important crossroad in a student's academic journey. As students enter middle school, their academic achievement and engagement frequently declines. This is true particularly for Black and Latinx students. Poor middle school grades are often a harbinger of poor performance in high school and beyond. In particular, having a…

The "Academic Mindsets and Behaviors, Prior Achievement, and the Transition to Middle School" study examined the relationship between 2016/17 grade 5 student responses to a Clark County School District (Nevada) survey on levels of academic mindsets and behaviors and the predicted probability of earning a low GPA (below 2.0) at the end of…

This Study Snapshot highlights key findings from a study on why students often experience a decline in academic achievement as they transition to middle school. Academic mindsets, such as a belief in the malleability of ability (growth mindset) or a reluctance to engage academically because of embarrassment or a fear of failure (performance…

Yanagiura, Takeshi – Community College Review, 2023
Objective: This study examines how accurately a small set of short-term academic indicators can approximate long-term outcomes of community college students so that decision-makers can take informed actions based on those indicators to evaluate the current progress of large-scale reform efforts on long-term outcomes, which in practice will not be…

Coker, David C. – World Journal of Education, 2020
Many researchers report risk ratios of White students to Black students with disabilities to show disproportionality and draw the conclusion discrimination exists. Risk ratios, upon further inspection, have methodological and philosophical problems which challenge the usefulness. A qualitative literature review provides a framework for…

Robson, Karen; Pullman, Ashley; Maier, Reana; Anisef, Paul; Brown, Robert S. – Canadian Journal of Higher Education, 2021
Using data from two Toronto student cohorts that entered high school five years apart, this study uses descriptive and multivariate techniques to examine short-term change in the predictors of four possible pathways after high school: confirming a place in university, confirming a place in college, applying but no admittance, or not applying at…

Chan, Hsun-Yu – Texas Education Research Center, 2017
College education becomes increasingly important for individuals' career prospect. However, many students enter college academically unprepared (Jackson & Kurlaender, 2014). As a response, high school curriculum is tasked as the gatekeeper of students' academic proficiency that equips students with essential knowledge and skills for…

Theory suggests that teachers' implicit racial attitudes affect their students, but we lack large-scale evidence on US teachers' implicit biases and their correlates. Using nationwide data from Project Implicit, we find that teachers' implicit White/Black biases (as measured by the implicit association test) vary by teacher gender and race.…

Theory suggests that teachers' implicit racial attitudes affect their students, but large-scale evidence on U.S. teachers' implicit biases and their correlates is lacking. Using nationwide data from Project Implicit, we found that teachers' implicit White/Black biases (as measured by the implicit association test) vary by teacher gender and race.…

Smith, Christian Michael – Grantee Submission, 2020
Studies in social stratification have used siblings as a tool to learn about the intergenerational transmission of advantage but less often have asked how siblings impact one another's life chances. The author draws on social capital theory and hypothesizes that when youths attend college, they increase the probability that their siblings attend…

Ogbonnaya, Ugorji I.; Awuah, Francis K. – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2019
There is some disparity in the quality of education among the various races and provinces in South Africa. Since the dawn of democracy in 1994, the government has tried to bridge the gap using quintile categorisation of public schools and its concomitant funding. The categorisation is based on the socioeconomic status of the community in which the…

Dee, Thomas S.; Dobbie, Will; Jacob, Brian A.; Rockoff, Jonah – Stanford Center for Education Policy Analysis, 2016
In this paper, we show that the design and decentralized, school-based scoring of New York's high school exit exams--the Regents Examinations--led to the systematic manipulation of test sores just below important proficiency cutoffs. Our estimates suggest that teachers inflate approximately 40 percent of test scores near the proficiency cutoffs.…
