ABSTRACT

Educators and researchers have long debated the best grade configuration grouping for middle grade students. This study examined school-level differences in reading and mathematics standardized test pass rates for students placed in middle schools versus alternative grade configurations. Latent growth modeling was conducted separately for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades across a 3-year sampling period. Sixth-grade pass rates were significantly higher in elementary schools (e.g., Kindergarten–7th grade) than in middle schools for reading (78.9% vs. 72.0%) and mathematics (82.5% vs. 76.3%). Seventh-grade pass rates in elementary schools were also significantly higher than in middle schools for reading (78.5% vs. 75.9%) and mathematics (83.1% vs. 69.2%). Eighth-grade pass rates were significantly higher in middle schools than in high schools (e.g., 8th–12th grade) for both subjects (74.7% vs. 70.0% for reading, 63.3% vs. 52.0% for mathematics). These findings suggest that students benefit from remaining in elementary school through at least 7th grade.

年级配置与六年级,七年级和八年级学生的学校水平标准化考试通过率相关

摘要

教育者和研究人员长期以来一直在争论中年级学生的最佳成绩配置分组。这项研究检查了中学水平与替代年级配置的学生在阅读和数学标准化考试通过率方面的学校差异。在三年的采样期内分别对6年级,7年级和8年级进行了潜在生长建模。小学(例如,幼儿园至七年级)的六年级通过率明显高于初中阅读(78.9%对72.0%)和数学(82.5%对76.3%)。小学的七年级通过率也明显高于中学的阅读(78.5%对75.9%)和数学(83.1%对69.2%)。中学八年级的通过率显着高于高中(例如,8年级至12年级)(两个科目分别为74.7%和70.0%,数学为63.3%和52.0%)。这些发现表明,学生至少从小学七年级就可以继续上小学。
