The relation of the class room success of children in college preparatory courses of the high school to their rate of progress in the elementary school

Abstract

Information was secured before the admission of pupils to Milne High School as to their rate of progress during elementary school, with a view to determining whether it was related to success in high school, especially during the first year. It was found that a record of normal progress in the elementary school promised more in the way of high school success than retardation, but less than acceleration. The author gives suggestions concerning the use which might be made of progress records. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
