Özet:
Although all students in the United States have access to what is supposed to be an equal public education, an academic achievement gap has existed for years between minority and non-minority students and continues to exist today. As a result, this thesis project aims to add to the literature by examining the factors that are associated with the achievement gap and the interventions that can help to narrow this gap between minority and non-minority students. This thesis is guided by the following research questions: 1) what factors or correlates are associated with academic achievement among minority students? 2) what effect do after-school programs, in comparison to summer school programs, and supplemental education services, have on academic achievement among minority students?
Findings indicated that parental demographics, parental involvement, school characteristics, teacher experience, school funding and achievement gap disparities all played a role in affecting the academic outcomes of minority students as defined by GPA, standardized test scores, and grades. Findings also indicated that there are interventions which have been shown to be effective at narrowing the academic achievement gap between minority and non-minority students. When looking at the research, it was found that after-school programs, supplemental educational services and summer school programs helped to narrow the achievement gap and that students who attended these programs saw an increase in their academic outcomes.
