Stability of School Academic Performance across Subject Areas.

Ma, Xin

Journal of Educational Measurement, v38 n1 p1-18 Spr 2001

Studied correlates of academic performance across mathematics, science, reading, and writing for 6,883 Canadian students in grade 6 in 148 schools (the New Brunswick School Climate Study). Results show that students were differentially successful in different subject areas, that schools were differentially successful in different subject areas, and that the differential success was more obvious among students than among schools.
