Community Influences on the Relation of Family Statuses to Adolescent School Performance: Differences between African Americans and Non-Hispanic Whites
Abstract
Parental education and family structure are less predictive of high school grades for African Americans than for whites. Community socioeconomic status predicts grades for both groups. The failure of family statuses to predict grades for African Americans appears related to the ethnic mix, and not socioeconomic status, in the residential community. Living in a census tract with a substantial proportion of minority residents affects whites as well as African Americans, reducing the influence of family statuses. That most African Americans live in such census tracts and fewer whites do explains the ethnic difference in the influence of family statuses on adolescent grades.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
