A Profile of the American Eighth Grader: NELS:88 Student Descriptive Summary

Title:	A Profile of the American Eighth Grader: NELS:88 Student Descriptive Summary
Description:	The report will highlight some of the general findings of the NELS:88 Base Year survey and is designed to replicate topics from the base year surveys for the cohorts studied in HS&B and NLS-72, but will largely focus on items of greater relevance to this younger cohort. Written for a non-technical audience, it should be of special interest to U.S. Department of Education offices, and professional and policy groups concerned with middle/junior high schooling, researchers, state departments of education, superintendents and principals. The student, parent, teacher, school, and cognitive test results for NELS:88 base year will be analyzed using descriptive statistics and approximately 20 tables.
