To this end, 2,849 middle school students in a large Midwestern school district in the United States were used. It was found that there is a significant association between the proportion of female-headed households and the achievement of Black male students only, in contrast to that of Black female and White students.

Implications for the finding are reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>Full article can be found here:\u00a0http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/0042085910372348<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madyun, N., &amp; Lee, M.
