Abstract | Using data from the 1992 National Education Longitudinal Survey, this study examined the effects of student religious commitment on academic achievement. Results indicate that very religious urban and non-urban children performed better on most academic measures than their less religious counterparts, even when controlling for race, gender, and socioeconomic status. There were differences between students of Christian faith versus students of other religious faiths. (SM) |
