School Achievement and Dropout among Anglo and Indian Females and Males: A Comparative Examination.
James, Keith; And Others
American Indian Culture and Research Journal, v19 n3 p181-206 1995
Among 1,607 American Indian and Anglo dropouts and currently enrolled middle- and high-school students, language difficulties and problems with teachers were predictive of academic troubles and dropping out. Success of Indian students was related to stronger Anglo cultural identity and better English proficiency (in mainstream schools) but was not related to Indian cultural identity. (SV)
