520 |a This research study of elementary, junior high school, and senior high school students examined the relationship between educational inputs and outputs as a measure of growth in academic achievement. Educational inputs were identified as the socioeconomic background of the student, the school climate, and the school resources. Additionally, educational output was evaluated by students' improvement in reading, writing, and arithmetic skills. The sample consisted of 627 elementary students, 553 junior high school students and 716 high school students in 150 public schools. Educational input data was obtained from the students' history files and personnel files. Individual students were matched with their teacher's characteristics. Test results were analyzed to relate grade norms, national norms, and family income to achievement. The report concluded that socioeconomic background of the student was an important factor which determined what the student achieved through the school years. Class size influenced the students' achievement differently at various levels of school. Also, how school resources were allocated did have an impact on pupil performance. The actual multiple regression equation, tables for the three school levels, and a listing of all variables used in the data sample are included in the appendix. (Author/JP)
