Introduction

Research Questions

The report uses data from the ECLS-K to address the following questions:

  • What knowledge and skills do children demonstrate in the spring of third grade? How have these changed since they first started school? Do children?s knowledge and skills and the gains they have made over time differ by certain child, family, and school characteristics?
  • How do third-graders perceive themselves and their relations with other children? Is their academic achievement at the end of third grade related to their perceptions?
