Socioeconomic Gaps in Academic Achievement within Schools: Are They Consistent across Subject Areas?
Ma, Xin
Educational Research and Evaluation: An International Journal on Theory and Practice, v6 n4 p337-55 Dec 2000
Examined the correlates of within school socioeconomic gaps in academic achievement corresponding to subject areas across schools using data for 6,883 students from 148 New Brunswick, Canada, schools. Results show that within-school socioeconomic gaps were similar between reading and writing as well as between mathematics and science. Interrelationships of within-school socioeconomic gaps were quite robust to school characteristics included in the study. (SLD)
