Abstract

This study describes middle school students' attitudes toward school. Four attitudinal surveys (attitudes toward teachers, learning processes, language arts, and mathematics) were administered to 1,326 middle school students from two Mid-Atlantic states and one Southwestern state. Results revealed that, regardless of achievement, students in general do not hold very positive attitudes toward school. When students were defined as high, average, or low achievers based on achievement data, students who were placed in the high achievers group held more positive attitudes toward school, regardless of grade level, than their comparison groups of peers.
