Abstract

It was the purpose of this investigation to examine the effects of sex, race, intelligence, and socioeconomic status upon the reading and arithmetic achievement test scores of sixth grade pupils in one school district. This was accomplished by combining these factors to establish 32 pupil performance categories. Norms, based upon these 32 categories, were established for both the level of performance at the end of sixth grade and gain in performance based upon the increment in reading and arithmetic between fifth and sixth grades.
