About The Book
Educational sociologists have often overlooked children in middle childhood (ages 6 to 12), while developmental psychologists tend to emphasize internal child factors more than social contexts when explaining children's development. Children, Schools, and Inequality addresses this imbalance by examining elementary school outcomes such as test scores, grades, and retention rates in relation to socioeconomic differences in schools and neighborhoods, school organizational patterns, and family structure intersections with school performance. Using data from the Baltimore Beginning School Study alongside research from sociology, child development, and education, the authors explore why the achievement gap between poor children and their better-off peers is challenging to close. The book highlights the importance of the first-grade transition period, showing how this phase impacts children's entire school careers. It stands as a unique study offering remedies for urban schools and serves as an important resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers interested in sociology of education and child development.
