Predicting Academic Success Using a Critical Approach: The Impact of Campus Climate, Ethnic Identity, and Self-Esteem among Latinx High School Students
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v23 n2 p88-103 2024
Using LatCrit and QuantCrit, we examined the effect of school climate, ethnic identity, and self-esteem on GPA in a sample of 300 Latinx high school students. We found significant positive correlations between climate and GPA as well as self-esteem and GPA. Moreover, using structural equation modeling, we found self-esteem mediated the relationship between climate and GPA. This highlights the role of institutions in improving the educational experiences and increasing the educational attainment of Latinx students.
