Book Description
This study was concerned with the relationship of changing schools to reading achievement among fifth-grade students in the Clark County School district, Nevada. High achievement was associated with high IQ, high socio-economic status, and stable family life. Low achievement was associated with high mobility, racial-ethnic minorities, and gaming-employed parents. High mobility was associated with military parents. Low mobility was associated with high achievement, high family stability, high IQ, and high socio-economic status. When other variables were controlled, only IQ and socio-economic status were found to be meaningfully related to achievement. The effect of mobility seemed to be explained primarily by the inter-correlation of mobility with other variables. It was concluded that mobility was not meaningfully related to the reading achievement of fifth grade students in the Clark County School District.--Adapted from the abstract.
