CheckPoint: Socioeconomic Status and Student Achievement
Resource: School Matters Web site at http://www.schoolmatters.com
and p. 134 of Introduction to Teaching
Navigate to http://www.schoolmatters.com and locate the district you
live in or want to work in. Browse either district or school-specific
data regarding SES status, then complete the following:
Identify the name and location of the school or school district you're
investigating; include this information in your response.
Locate and record information that would indicate SES of the school
or district (such as household income, students eligible for
free/reduced lunch fee program, education level of parents, and so
forth).
Locate and record information that would indicate student
achievement (such as performance on standardized tests).
Compare and discuss actual student achievement scores with your
expectations based on your observations of SES. Did your
observations match your expectations? Explain why or why not.
