q2 i? Girls (47.4 percent A/B) outpaced boys (31.8 percent); Asian students were 2.5 times more likely than Black students to earn As and Bs; honors students earned A/B GPAs at roughly twice the rate of non-honors students (61 vs 31.8 percent); and GPAs varied greatly across the 90 high schools. → Easton 2017

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Descriptive, unadjusted analyses of pooled 2006-13 CPS cohorts (Figures 2-7): gender, race/ethnicity, neighborhood SES quartile, eighth-grade test quartile, math course level, and across-school distributions. The quote gives the honors-versus-regular contrast; gender figures (47.4 vs 31.8 percent A/B) and the 2.5-times Asian-Black ratio are printed in the same chapter.

"about twice as many students who took (at least some) honors classes received A or B GPAs than students in non-honors classes (61 percent compared to 31.8 percent)"

Related Claims¶

• School test score averages are strongly related to the income of the families a school serves — the general claim this finding bears on, with the studies behind it
• A very demanding course schedule lowers core-course GPA by about 0.40 points relative to an undemanding one — related
• Systematic racial, ethnic and gender differences in grades persist among students with the same test scores, attendance, courses and teachers — related
• Students earned higher average grades in CS courses than in core courses, with few failing CS — related
• High- and middle-achieving Black students saw core GPA declines at least twice as large as White peers with similar eighth-grade GPAs — related
• SAT scores underpredict the academic performance of high school girls, who average lower scores than boys despite higher grades — related
• Students' risk of suspension is more strongly determined by which school they attend than by their individual backgrounds — related
• After accounting for incoming academic achievement, neighborhood crime and poverty show effectively no relationship with school safety — related
• Most Chicago freshmen fail at least one course, miss substantial school, or earn below a C average in their first year — related
• Graduation rates differ largely across Chicago schools, with many new charter and magnet schools and several neighborhood high schools showing exceptionally high rates beyond what incoming freshman characteristics would predict — related
• Schools serving similar students from similar neighborhoods had substantially different absence rates, with over half of school variation unexplained by student backgrounds or prior absences — related
• Validity evidence for the IRLA is disaggregated across grade, program, and race/ethnicity — related
• Student test effort differs substantially across student gender and racial subgroups — related
• High school girls and boys take largely similar math and science coursework, with girls more likely to complete biology and chemistry and boys more likely to complete physics and calculus — related
• Black and Latinx students were less likely than their peers to be in the On-Track category, and within each race/ethnicity group boys were less likely to be on-track than girls — related
• Ninth-grade course failure rates varied substantially across CPS high schools even after controlling for demographics and prior achievement, and student-teacher relationship measures were associated with better-than-expected Freshman OnTrack rates — related
• Prior gateway course success rates averaged 66 percent with a 14-point gap for students of color — related
• The peer assessment effect size is comparable in magnitude to a substantial fraction of measured achievement gaps in the course — related
• Girls report higher school engagement at time 1 and higher cumulative GPA than boys — related
• Teacher-rated grades show girls rated slightly higher than boys, but gender is unrelated to test performance — related
• Higher absence rates are the most important factor explaining why students with disabilities fail more courses and earn lower GPAs than students without identified disabilities — related
• Class of 1997 outcomes differed by gender, with girls graduating at higher counts than boys within five years — related
• GPA declines in arts and PE/health greatly exceeded declines in core subjects between eighth and ninth grade — related
• Students with higher eighth-grade achievement saw larger core GPA declines across the transition to high school — related
