Differences in School Behavior and Achievement between Children from Intact, Reconstituted, and Single-Parent Families.

Featherstone, Darin R.; And Others

Adolescence, v27 n105 p1-12 Spr 1992

Analyzed differences in school behavior and achievement among students (n=530) in grades six through nine from intact, reconstituted, and single-parent families. Students from intact, two-parent families had fewer absences and tardies, higher grade point averages, and fewer negative and more positive teacher behavioral ratings than did those from reconstituted and single-parent families.
