Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine if any relationship existed between superintendents' professional background and academic achievement in 60 large, urban school districts with minimums of 50% minority student population and 40% Title I eligible students. The sample districts, all members of the Council of the Great City Schools, were geographically located in 33 states and the District of Columbia. The 60 districts in the sample ranged in student population from 15,825 to 997,618. Minority representation in the districts ranged from 55% to 99%. Levels of socioeconomic disadvantage ranged from 41% to 100% Title I. The study primarily relied on archival achievement data. Results were inconclusive as to whether any correlation exists between academic achievement and the professional background of superintendents.
