Abstract
The Coleman Report demonstrated that family background is correlated with achievement in school. The present study examined this relationship for different sexes and social classes. Data were obtained from the cumulative folders of 637 white children in grades 3 through 6. Measures of scholastic achievement were the Californial Achievement Tests. Multiple regression analyses of variance revealed a number of significant main effects and interactions, and their implications were discussed.
