Examining Poor and Affluent Students' Perceptions of Academic Achievement.(Statistical Data Included)
Abstract
This paper examines perceptions of academic achievement of students from two high schools, Independent High, a prominent private school with an affluent enrollment, and McLean High, a public school with an impoverished student body. The students' perceptions describe the different ways in which educational achievement is understood by the poor and affluent, and how these understandings reflect the educational experiences of students. The students also emphasize the pivotal role of community in defining academic achievement.
