Closing the Social-Class Achievement Gap: Results
- They controlled for race and ethnicity, gender, income, highest SAT scores, and high school GPA in all analyses
- A gap of .30 grade points was seen between first-generation and continuing-generation students in the standard condition, while in the intervention group their grades were not significantly different. Matter of fact, the achievement gap was 63%. Smaller with the intervention.
- Results also showed that the first generation students in the intervention group had higher GPAs than first generation students in the standard condition. On the other hand, continuing education students in the intervention and control group did not differ significantly.
- The intervention also helped first generation students to use resources at college and therefore improve their academic performance. However, in the control group their was a gap between first generation students and continuing education students using college resources.
