Parental and Peer Involvement in the Schooling of Latino Adolescents

In spite of making substantial gains over the past decade, Mexican-American students continue to face serious obstacles. This research group is probing the reasons for these ongoing educational problems by conducting in-depth analyses of the views of low-income Mexican-American ninth grade students in two high schools in the Bay Area. The data set includes repeated, in-depth interviews obtaining students' perspectives on schooling, including the support they receive from parents, teachers, and peers. Additional data include a student time use diary, parent surveys, and interviews with school staff.

The principle investigator is Susan Holloway.
