- Summary:
-
The purpose of this study is to analyze overachieving and underachieving elementary schools in order to determine ways in which they differ. One hundred overachieving elementary schools across the nation were compared with 100 underachieving elementary schools. Questionnaires completed by sixth grade students, principals, and teachers of the respective schools were the chief sources of data. The report points out many dissimilarities between the two sets of schools in such areas as (1) parental interest, (2) instructional equipment, (3) class size, (4) staffing, (5) student background, (6) student ability and behavior, (7) school's reputation, and (8) teacher's race. No attempt was made, however, to directly specify causes of school quality differences because of the close correlations among the characteristics examined. (TT)
