Children in Motion: School Transfers and Elementary School Performance.
Alexander, Karl L.; And Others
Journal of Educational Research, v90 n1 p3-12 Sep-Oct 1996
School transfers were traced through the first five years of elementary school for 767 Baltimore (Maryland) children. Data on transfers, grade level progression, special education placements, achievement, family circumstances, and race indicated that school transfers were frequent, and patterned along racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic lines. Findings indicated that low income, minority children are challenged academically for many reasons. (SM)
