Racial Inequality in 8th-Grade Math Course-Taking
In the United States, 8th grade is the entry point into a stratified course-taking sequence in mathematics. Black students are substantially less likely than white students to enroll in advanced math courses in 8th grade and beyond. Unfortunately, prior research has failed to produce a consistent explanation for these racial inequalities. In this article, we develop an analytic framework that overcomes numerous limitations in prior studies. Our f…

Who Gets Ahead and Who Falls Behind During the Transition to High School? Academic Performance at the Intersection of Race/Ethnicity and Gender
Academic stratification during educational transitions may be maintained, disrupted, or exacerbated. This study marks the first to use national data to investigate how the transition to high school (re)shapes academic status at the intersection of race/ethnicity and gender. We seek to identify the role of the high school transition in shaping racial/ethnic and gender stratification by contextualizing students' academic declines during the high sc…
How School Socioeconomic Status Affects Achievement Growth across School Transitions in Early Educational Careers
Our study investigates how changing socioeconomic status (SES) composition, measured as percentage free and reduced priced lunch (FRL), affects students' math achievement growth after the transition to middle school. Using the life course framework of cumulative advantage, we investigate how timing, individual FRL status, and legacy effects of a student's elementary school SES composition each affect a student's math achievement growth. We advanc…
Leaks in Latina/o Students’ College-Going Pipeline
This study predicts Latina/o student attrition at two phases in the college-going pipeline. Findings suggest that academic achievement mediates Latina/o students’ attrition from expectations to college application. Preparatory commitment behaviors mediate attrition from application to attendance. Results also indicate that Latina/o students experience greater risk of attrition compared with other ethnoracial groups at both application and attenda…
Latino/a immigrant parents’ educational aspirations for their children
This study explores Latino/a parents’ educational aspirations and parents’ perspectives on supporting educational attainment as a way to better understand the connection between high educational aspirations among Latino/a parents and hindrances to Latino/a youth educational attainment. Data from focus group interviews with immigrant Latino/a parents suggest that parents’ high educational aspirations are shaped by their lived experiences of their …
Family Legacy or Family Pioneer? Social Class Differences in the Way Adolescents Construct College-Going
In an era of heightened educational expectations, it can be difficult to discern why would-be first-generation college-going adolescents are less likely to enroll in college than non-first generation adolescents. This article draws from cultural sociology to interpret differences in the way that adolescents socially construct the transition into college. Our data come from focus groups with 37 boys and 43 girls conducted in a racially diverse sch…

Effects of School Mobility on Adolescent Social Ties and Academic Adjustment
Why are transfer students at an increased risk for disengagement and dropout? Previous research suggests that the loss of school-based social relationships play a role. Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) are used to analyze what predicts student transfer and what effect this has on students' social relationships. Results are based on propensity score matching techniques and are compared with those from a m…
Schools, Magnet
Magnet schools are public schools defined by four principal characteristics: a distinctive curriculum or instructional approach, enrollment of students from outside designated neighborhood attendance zones, desegregation as their explicit purpose, and school choice by families. Magnet schools have been used for desegregation since the mid‐1970s. However, the concept of magnet schools as district specialty schools has been present since the 1900s.…
High School Transfer Students and the Transition to College
The timing of a high school transfer may shape students' transitions to college through its (mis)alignment with the structure of the school year. A transfer that occurs during the summer interrupts the four-year high school career, whereas a transfer that occurs midyear disrupts both the four-year high school career and the structure of the school year. Using the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS), the investigators find that the penalty …
Effects of Educational Transitions on Students' Academic Trajectory
In our increasingly mobile society, transitions are often made in search of opportunity, yet to the detriment of social ties to others. This study draws upon a life course perspective, focusing specifically on the timing and context of transitions, to explore how educational transitions affect students' academic trajectory with national longitudinal data. Findings suggest that students who transition to high school alone are resilient when they a…
Academic Vulnerability and Resilience during the Transition to High School
The transition to high school is a critical stage in students' academic trajectories and can be especially difficult for middle school students who struggle academically. Starting high school on a low academic track and with low academic performance often leads to dropping out of high school. This study investigates what might protect academically vulnerable students during the transition to high school by exploring the potential effects social r…
Following Different Pathways
This study expands research on an academic and social turning point for adolescents, the transition to high school, by analyzing how students' level of social integration into school can affect high school academic performance. Using nationally representative data, three different pathways emerged as students transition to high school, characterized by varying amounts of disruption and opportunity for new social relationships upon entering high s…
Family Transitions and Adolescent Severe Emotional Distress
We use the life course perspective to argue that family transitions like divorce and remarriage are turning points in adolescents' lives and that emotional distress associated with these events are shaped by the circumstances surrounding them. Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), we explore how family transitions net of family structure are related to two types of emotional distress, acute depressive symptoms a…

Latino Children's Integration into American Society
The Latino population has grown in recent decades due to increased immigration. This group is largely urban, disproportionately young, and typically enters American society with a low socioeconomic status, which has implications for urban schools. Using data from a three-year investigation of the bilingual education program at Maya Angelou Elementary in Texas, this study examines the integration of Latino students into the educational system. Mor…
