\1\Socioeconomic status was measured by a composite score on parental education and occupations, and family income.
The "Low" SES group is the lowest quartile; the "Middle" SES group is the middle two
quartiles; and the "High" SES group is the upper quartile.
\2\In the full data file, the standardized scores have a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. Because dropouts and students who were retained in grades between 8 and 11 were excluded from this tabulation, the scores are slightly higher. \3\In the full data file, twenty-five percent of all students fall into each one of the quartile groupings. Because dropouts and students who were retained in grades between 8 and 11 were excluded from this tabulation, the scores are slightly higher. NOTE.--Because of rounding, details may not add to totals.
