Risk and Recovery from Course Failure in the Early Years of High School.
Roderick, Melissa; Camburn, Eric
American Educational Research Journal, v36 n2 p303-43 Sum 1999
Examined patterns in the relative risk of course failure and recovery from failure over the first four semesters of high school for students in the Chicago, Illinois, school system, showing how failure rates vary as a function of race, ethnicity, gender, age, and prior performance. Results for 27,612 students show that few recover from failure, although schools vary widely in failure and recovery rates. (SLD)
