A total of 192 eighth grade and 190 ninth grade students were surveyed to obtain information on attitudes toward the middle school experience and concerns of transition to high school. Results were factor analyzed and indicated such factors as need for self-direction, confidence about academic performance, friendship, belongingness in school, poor progress with schoolwork, general dislike of school, and positive attribution. Those students who experienced a difficult transition indicated being unaccepted by both classmates and teachers as the primary cause for the inability to adjust. ANOVAs were used to test for effects of grade level, past perceived achievement (GPA), gender, and whether or not an older sibling attended the same school for each of the factors identified.","PeriodicalId":422283,"journal":{"name":"Middle School Research Selected Studies","volume":"215 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132096967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Teachers in 70 middle level schools in Georgia completed the Connecticut School Effectiveness Questionnaire. Principals in these 70 schools supplied demographic information. Student achievement was measured by the eighth grade Georgia Criterion Referenced Test (GCRT). Results indicate that a number of effective school and demographic variables are correlated with the three areas of the GCRT (reading, mathematics, total score). Results indicate that there are actions schools can take to improve student achievement.","PeriodicalId":422283,"journal":{"name":"Middle School Research Selected Studies","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114652594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
