Disentangling the Effects of Nonmetro Location and Student Poverty on School Performance/Improvement: Implications for Equitable Excellence in Kentucky Public Schools.
Reeves, Edward B.
Journal of Research in Rural Education, v18 n1 p17-30 Spr 2003
Effects of student poverty and location on school accountability scores were examined using hierarchical linear modeling and data from 1,115 Kentucky schools in 171 districts. Positive effects of nonmetro location were found, but they did not erase the strong negative effect of poverty. Projections indicate that equitable excellence will not be achieved in Kentucky during the foreseeable future. (Contains 40 references.) (TD)
