The Performance of Latinos in Rural Public Schools: A Comparative Analysis of Test Scores in Grades 3, 6, and 12.
Hampton, Steve; And Others
Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v17 n4 p480-98 Nov 1995
Examines effects of socioeconomic status, school funding, English proficiency, and Latino population concentration on achievement scores of students in grades 3, 6, and 12 in 66 rural California school districts. Performance on the California Assessment Program was predicted primarily by parental socioeconomic status, and, unexpectedly, improved for both Latino and white students as Latino concentration increased.
