School Choice and Performance

This study examines the associations between home-individual and school-related factors along with a focus on school failure of 431 students who are randomly sampled from nine urban public Junior high schools. The results show that among individual students some characteristics such as gender, motivation, positive attitudes towards school, and work status are significantly associated with school failure. In addition, some family-related aspects like the parents' educational level, perceptions about relationship with parents and surrounding circumstances at home are also considerably related to the proportion of school failure. As for school characteristics, the present study proves that they have no effect on the rate of school failure.
