Concentrated Poverty and Reading Achievement in Five Big Cities [microform] / Jeanie Keeny Meyer and Daniel U. Levine.
This study attempted to determine whether better predictions of school-level achievement scores than have been reported for big city school districts could be attained by determining whether concentrations of poverty and related social characteristics are related to achievement in such a way as to m...

| 520 | |a This study attempted to determine whether better predictions of school-level achievement scores than have been reported for big city school districts could be attained by determining whether concentrations of poverty and related social characteristics are related to achievement in such a way as to make it possible to identify specific threshold points below which urban schools are not functioning effectively. Data on school-level reading achievement were obtained from five big city school districts: Chicago, Illinois; Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio; and Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri. For each city, data were obtained and coded for all elementary schools which included at least grades three through six and which reported achievement scores for most of the years included in the data set available in that city. Major findings were: (1) reading levels for elementary schools in the cities included in the sample are highly predictable based on knowledge of neighborhood characteristics excluding measures of race and ethnicity, (2) in general, the best predictor variables for a given city are relatively stable from year to year and across achievement measures, (3) neighborhood characteristics which best account for achievement differences among the schools in this study denote differing aspects of social status and urban organization, and (4) relationships found between neighborhood predictors and elementary school achievement indicate that concentrations of poverty and related characteristics such as high family disorganization and high population density are associated with low achievement in the public schools.
