Understanding Students’ Parental Education Beyond First-Generation Status: Findings Group D

Students who have a parent who attended graduate school (vs. four-year college) are 1.09 times more likely to have a higher high school GPA, 1.25 times more likely to struggle with the English language, and 1.12 times more likely to believe that grades reflect learning.
Students whose parents stopped at the four-year college tend to be North Asian and less likely to watch TV.
"Such findings suggest that although students with four-year college educated parents may have lower high school GPAs in comparison to students with graduate school educated parents, their lower grades may be likely attributable to difficulties with English and not necessarily due to difficulties with the courses"
