Abstract

School locale and student socioeconomic status are the main predictors of the performance of high school physics students.

Highlights

  • The present study examined several issues related to high school physics, teacher-level and school-level variables that may influence physics accessibility, participation, and performance

  • There were 1584 teachers who taught at least one physics course

  • This research was framed by theoretical constructs related to workplace tensions for isolated teachers, as well as equity considerations in precollege physics education
