Citations in the corpus
- A Critical Review of the Literature on School Dropout (2013, background): “…is that the statistics on which they generally rely are still based on the grades in which students are, and on administrative estimations of early school leaving, rather than students’ age and graduation; an important limitation (cf. Dorn, 1996; and Allensworth, 2005; De Witte and Rogge, 2013).”
- Revisiting Grade Retention: An Evaluation of Florida's Test-Based Promotion Policy (2007, unknown): “…later academic progress (Peterson, DeGracie, and Ayabe 1987; Holmes 1989; Alexander, Entwisle, and Dauber 1994; Jimerson et al. 1997; Roderick and Nagaoka 2005) and increases rates of students dropping out of school (Grissom and Shepard 1989; Roderick 1994; Jimerson 2001a, 2001b; Allensworth 2005).”
- Early-Grade Retention and Children’s Reading and Math Learning in Elementary Years (2007, methodology): “…found that retention in third grade did not lead to greater achievement growth 2 years later, that retention in sixth grade was associated with lower achievement growth, and that retention in eighth grade slightly increased the risk for dropping out (Allensworth, 2005; Roderick & Nagaoka, 2005).”
- More Than One Gap: Dropout Rate Gaps Between and Among Black, Hispanic, and White Students (2007, result): “Also in concert with prior research (Allensworth, 2005; Goldschmidt & Wang, 1999), our results point to a variable that consistently predicts dropping out of school across all groups: being held back. It is outside the purview of this treatment to review the substantial literature on grade retention”
