Abstract | In recent years much attention has been given to the identification of social and psychological factors that may account for differences in the achievement of students in American schools. A wide range of studies has demonstrated that the family's socioeconomic status and racial background, as well as the socioeconomic and racial composition of the school's student body, are correlated with both student achievement and mean school achievement. The high correlation between family background and school composition in both individual and mean school achievement, however, does not demonstrate that these variables are the cause of differences in achievement. The small number of exceptions at least suggests that a significantly higher achievement is possible in low SES schools, and that significantly lower achievement sometimes occurs in high SES schools. Similar exceptions to the major regression line demonstrate that reasonably high achievement is possible in low SES black schools. The present research is an attempt to identify some factors that may explain the differences in the level of achievement among schools with similar socioeconomic status and racial composition.
