Predicting the Academic Achievement of Puerto Rican and Mexican-American Ninth-Grade Students.

Adams, David; And Others

Urban Review, v26 n1 p1-14 Mar 1994

Examines the predictive value of several variables on the grade point averages (GPA) for 337 Mexican American and 153 Puerto Rican urban ninth-grade students. Gender and immigration status significantly predicted GPA. English proficiency was significantly different for the two groups, and a greater number of English-proficient Mexican Americans did more poorly in school. (SLD)
