- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to determine how parents in two different socio-economic environments view the effective school correlates. More specifically, the study sought to determine if there were significant differences in the perceptions of low socio-economic parents and high socio-economic parents of students in eight metropolitan Atlanta middle schools regarding the effective school correlates: (1) Clear School Mission, (2) Safe and Well Ordered Learning Environment, (3) High Expectations for Success (4) High Morale, (5) Effective Instructional Leadership, (6) Quality Classroom Instruction, (7) Frequent Monitoring of Student Progress, and (8) Positive Home-School Relations. The dependent variable is effective schools. The research population consisted of parents from eight metropolitan Atlanta middle schools in low and high socio-economic environments. Data were gathered by questionnaire. Data analysis indicated that there were differences found between low socio-economic parents and high socio-economic parents in their perceptions of the effective schools correlates.
