Book excerpt: "Literature suggests that the effective implementation of the freshman academy promotes positive achievement outcomes for students of color. This study examined the perceptions of freshmen students of color who attended a ninth-grade academy in a racially diverse high school in North Carolina. The intent of the study was to provide educators with insight into how race and ethnicity play a factor in the educational experiences of ninth-grade students of color and to determine if there are patterns or characteristics in their experiences. The study provides insight about programs and practices which may lead to improved educational experiences for students of color and result in higher student achievement and a decrease in the dropout rate. From a socio-cultural perspective and through the theoretical framework of Critical Race Theory, when a student's social and cultural capital works cohesively with the capital within the context of the school, it promotes academic achievement."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative causal-comparative study was to explore the effect of Ninth Grade Academies as Small Learning Communities as an approach to further student success in comparison to Traditional Comprehensive High School structures in the state of Georgia. This study sought to determine if students who attended a Ninth Grade Academy as a Small Learning Community during their freshman year had a higher rate of attendance, increased student achievement as measured by the Georgia End of Course Test scores in Ninth Grade Literature and Ninth Grade Algebra I, and a higher Graduation Rate in comparison to students who did not attend a Ninth Grade Academy, but rather a Traditional Comprehensive High School configuration during the school year of 2007-2008. For all dependent variables that were used to measure achievement for the research questions: Graduation Rate, attendance, and End of Course Tests in Ninth Grade Literature and Ninth Grade Algebra I, there was a significant statistical difference between the two groups. For all research questions, the results indicated the Traditional Comprehensive High Schools measured higher percentages in Graduation Rate, End of Course Tests, and attendance than the Ninth Grade Academies.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ninth Grade Academies have been implemented in urban school districts across the United States to mitigate ongoing challenges with the ninth grade transition to high school. Research has unequivocally portrayed ninth grade as the most significant grade to the successful completion of high school. Historically, educational discourse about high schools has focused on alarming high school dropout rates and retentions in the ninth grade. However, an evolving body of research that suggests a strategic approach to the ninth grade transition, such as ninth grade academies, results in promising academic and behavioral student outcomes. This quantitative causal comparative study examined the correlation between ninth grade academies in the School District of Philadelphia’s comprehensive high schools and first-time ninth-grade student performance (as measured by the on-track rate, 95%+ attendance rate, and zero out-of-school suspension rate). This study further assessed whether students in comprehensive high schools with ninth grade academies showed a statistically significant difference in performance compared to students in high schools without ninth grade academies. The study sample population consisted of N=8; four comprehensive high schools and four special admission high schools across three different student cohorts and a total of 1,763 students from the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 school years. Quantitative analysis of the descriptive and inferential statistics indicated no statistically significant relationship between ninth grade academies and student performance.

Download or read book Students of Color and the Achievement Gap written by Richard R. Valencia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students of Color and the Achievement Gap is a comprehensive, landmark analysis of an incontrovertible racialized reality in U.S. K-12 public education---the relentless achievement gap between low-socioeconomic students of color and their economically advantaged White counterparts. Award winning author and scholar Richard Valencia provides an authoritative and systemic treatment of the achievement gap, focusing on Black and Latino/Latina students. He examines the societal and educational factors that help to create and maintain the achievement gap by drawing from critical race theory, an asset-based perspective and a systemic inequality approach. By showing how racialized opportunity structures in society and schools ultimately result in racialized patterns of academic achievement in schools, Valencia shows how the various indicators of the achievement gap are actually symptoms of the societal and school quality gaps. Following each of these concerns, Valencia provides a number of reform suggestions that can lead to systemic transformations of K-12 education. Students of Color and the Achievement Gap makes a persuasive and well documented case that school success for students of color, and the empowerment of their parents, can only be fully understood and realized when contextualized within broader political, economic, and cultural frameworks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Too many freshman students struggle during their first year in high school, which can result in their dropping out of school. Ninth grade academies, in which ninth grade students are clustered together for one year, have been one way high schools have sought to support students’ success. Purpose: The purpose of this quantitative mean comparison study was to compare academic achievement at one high school with a ninth-grade academy to a similar school in the same district that does not have a ninth grade academy. Methods: The study used a series of independent samples t test to compare ninth grade students’ average test scores for Algebra I, Biology I, and English I between the two similar campuses over the span of five years. Findings: The schools had similar performance in Algebra for all five years. In Biology, the school with the ninth grade academy outperformed the traditional high school all five years and significantly outperformed the traditional high school in four out of the five years. In English I, the school with the ninth grade academy significantly outperformed the traditional high school all five years since 2013. There was a trend of steady increases over the five-year period, but no increasing in the difference in the scale scores between the two schools for English I. Conclusion: There were significant differences in the mean scores between the two schools over a five year period with the school that implemented the ninth grade academy scoring higher in most years, for most of the subjects. However, the data suggest that the extent to which the ninth grade academy impacted scores on state testing was moderate. The gap in performance between the two schools remained unchanged over a five-year period.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative narrative study was to examine teachers' perceptions on effective strategies to retain Black ninth-grade students. Data was collected from 10 ninth-grade teachers who have at least three years of teaching experience of ninth-graders. The ninth-grade teachers shared their experiences of working with Black ninth-grade students while reflecting and sharing their perceptions on strategies they have implemented to prevent these students from dropping out of school. The study was grounded in critical race theory (CRT). Eight major themes emerged from the interviews: (1) Positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS), (2) parent/community involvement, (3) student voice, (4) availability, (5) differentiation, (6) peer tutoring, (7) building relationships, and (8) mentoring. The emerged theme suggested an inclusive list of strategies that require the involvement of teachers, parents, and students. The findings are in parallel with the best practices in the literature toward retaining Black students. Positive support and intervention, involvement of students and their parents appeared to be the leading strategies for retaining Black night-grade students. The findings may guide policymakers and practicing educational leaders in promoting inclusive conditions to retain Black ninth grade students.
