Productive Influences on High School Student Achievement.
Shanahan, Timothy; Walberg, Herbert J.
Journal of Educational Research, v78 n6 p357-63 Jul-Aug 1985
This study of 26,279 high school sophomores attempted to correlate fixed and alterable conditions which influence student achievement in academic subjects. Major differences in achievement appear to be due to fixed characteristics of students and outside school experiences, not to the private-school superiority hypothesis. (Author/MT)
