Pre-Kindergarten to Third Grade (PK-3) School-Based Resources and Third Grade Outcomes

In this brief Brett Brown and Kimber Bogard explore the extent to which child outcomes in third grade differ according to variations in school-level variables that are hypothesized to be related to positive outcomes-school-based PK-3 resources. Brown and Bogard examine these relationships by subgroups of children based on their educational risk status (e.g., parent education, family income, race/ethnicity). It is expected that children with higher educational risk experience lower quality schooling environments which likely contribute to achievement gaps.
