Do relational and structural characteristics of negative school environments independently predict immigrant adolescents’ academic achievement
Effects of Different-Race Exposure in School and Neighborhood on the Reading Achievement of Hmong Students in the United States
Based on analyses of 1,622 Hmong adolescents in a large urban school district, we illuminate a positive association between school different-race exposure and Hmong limited English proficient students’ reading achievement. However, we also note a negative association of neighborhood different-race exposure with Hmong students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. These findings suggest that even if school different-race exposure opport…

It was found that there is a significant association between the proportion of female-headed households and the achievement of Black male s…

This article advances the notion of institutional learning as the …

Results suggest a differential effect of neighborhood composition on the development of social ties for Black and White …
