چکیده
This study used grade 7 student data from approximately 1,000 middle schools in California for 2004/05–2010/11 to explore the relationship between school climate and academic performance across schools and over time. Key findings include: • Schools with a more positive student-reported school climate had higher academic performance in English language arts and math. • Changes in a school’s student-reported school climate over time were associated with changes in academic performance at that school. • The changes in academic performance within a school that are associated with changes in student-reported school climate over time were substantially smaller than the differences in academic performance across schools with different school climate values in a given year.
