Father-Only and Mother-Only, Single-Parent Family Status of Black Girls and Achievement in Grade Twelve and at Two Years Post High School
Battle, Juan; Coates, Deborah L.
Journal of Negro Education, v73 n4 p392-407 Fall 2004
An analysis was carried out to examine the relative effect of being in a single-parent, mother-only or father-only family for African-American girls in 8th grade in 1988 on 12th grade educational achievements in 1992 and two years after high school in 1994. The result showed that for these African-American girls parental configuration was not as significant a predictor of achievement as was socioeconomic status.
