Consequences of Differential Amounts of High School Coursework: Will the New Graduation Requirements Help?

Sebring, Penny A.

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v9 n3 p258-73 Fall 1987

Course-taking patterns and achievement were studied among high school seniors in six states (1980) and two states (1982), using High School and Beyond and College Entrance Examination Board data. The more time spent in academic courses, the higher the academic achievement. Disparities among states have consequences for achievement. (SLD)
