Early Reading Skills and Academic Achievement Trajectories of Students Facing Poverty, Homelessness, and High Residential Mobility (2012, neutral): “This pattern is evident in a variety of crosssectional and longitudinal studies demonstrating achievement gaps based on SES (Pungello, Kupersmidt, Burchinal, & Patterson, 1996; Sirin, 2005).”
Examining the Validity of Behavioral Self-Regulation Tools in Predicting Preschoolers' Academic Achievement (2014, methodology): “In all statistical analyses, we included important covariates related to academic outcomes: child age, child gender, and parent education level (as a proxy for socioeconomic status; Davis-Kean, 2005; Halpern, 2000; Sirin, 2005).”
Further Evidence of an Engagement–Achievement Paradox Among U.S. High School Students (2008, background): “Meanwhile, the socioeconomic composition of schools has been found in multiple studies to be one of the strongest predictors of student achievement (including the racial composition of schools or individual SES), with low SES communities correlated with lower achievement (Sirin 2005).”
African American and Hispanic Student Engagement at Minority Serving and Predominantly White Institutions (2007, background): “Socioeconomic status (SES) for minority students, particularly the SES of their residential area and school, appears to have an especially powerful impact on their ability to succeed academically (Sirin, 2005).”
Socioeconomic Status and Academic Outcomes in Developing Countries: A Meta-Analysis (2019, methodology): “Overall, the ES of SES and academic outcomes was positive but smaller in our sample of developing countries compared to previous meta-analyses conducted mostly with U.S. samples (Harwell et al., 2017; Sirin, 2005; White, 1982).”
Linking Socioeconomic Status to the Academic Achievement of Mexican American Youth Through Parent Involvement in Education (2012, background): “The combined effect of all SES factors examined in this study was comparable in size to the effect of SES on children’s achievement in minority samples estimated in a meta-analysis (Sirin, 2005).”
Effects of school composition and school climate on teacher expectations of students: A multilevel analysis (2014, background): “To decrease the risk of overestimating its effect, it is considered best to measure SES using more than one indicator from multiple types (e.g. economic, cognitive, and cultural capital indicators) (Dumay et al., 2010; Nash, 2003; Sirin, 2005).”
Growth mindset predicts achievement only among rich students: examining the interplay between mindset and socioeconomic status (2021, background): “In certain cases, the predictive power of school SES on educational outcomes is stronger than individual SES (Sirin 2005).”
The limits of social class in explaining ethnic gaps in educational attainment (2011, background): “Sirin, 2005 ), there is relatively little evidence of the mechanisms or the more proximal influences through which this association is mediated.”
