This was an article that outlined a test of educational outcomes for three

socioeconomic status (SES) groups of African American students enrolled in a

community college. The test was based on the Tintos (1987) model which intels

educational intentions and commitments, academic integrations, and educational

outcomes. This article focused on the multigroup structural equation modeling test

which demonstrated high academic social engagement and positive effects on the

educational results. This article also outlined that there were negative impacts of

external commitments on social integration. In closing, I will say that there no major

differences within the educational and social outcomes between the lowest, lower to

middle, and middle to upper SES groups.

Different Socioeconomic Backgrounds
In this book, there was a study that investigated through the lenses of traditional

socioeconomic indicators such as wealth, parents, education, occupations, parents

occupations, parents income anticipated academic outcomes of European Americans

and African Americans differently. The study showed that when comparing 1,302

African Americans and 6,362 European public school students, the socioeconomic

academic achievement proved both ethnicity groups had different outcomes. The study

showed that wealth accounted for more of a greater outcome of African American

students than of European American students.

Education Achievement Gap. American Political Research, 42(1).

In this article, there was an investigation done on the political foundations of racial

Achievement Gaps in American education. They wanted to figure out if the policy

makers paid close attention to teacher quality and issues with education research that

showed improving outcomes for racial minority students. What was discovered behind

the investigation was a system behind unequal findings by examining the factors that

motivated whit public opinion on education reform and found racial influences. The

ultimate results were an ongoing achievement gap between White and African

American students which claimed distinctive political foundations.

Suburban Low to Moderate Income Public High School Students. Journal of African

American Studies, 19(2).

This article was based on a study that examined the educational expectations and value

of education among St Louis, Suburban, low to moderate income with African

American male and female adolescents. The outlined examination explored the

academic gender disparity among African American high school students which

showed teachers and parents expectations were associated with students educational

expectations and value of education. The examination showed that there were no

compelling gender differences between African American males and females for

educational expectations.

J. Youth. Adolesc. (2012). Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Educational Expectations of

Adolescents: Does Pursuing Higher Education Mean Something Different to Latino

Students Compared to White and Black Students.

This article explored racial/ethnic differences in the expectation of adolescents which

focused on how expectations about higher education may differ in frequency and

meaning for African American and Latino youth. The articles assessment was Latino

youth were less likely to enroll into college compared to Blacks and White youth and

also most likely to start their own families. The article differences have reflected culture

values which included the importance of culturally related programs intended to promote

higher education.
