城市社区的学校得到的资金较少，规划较少，基础设施也较差。这种差异可能会阻碍青少年的学业成绩。本研究利用公开数据，在新泽西州帕塞伊克县的132所学校中，考察了学校特征和周围社区环境对三个学年的教育成果之间的关系。此外，我们评估了学校的社会经济地位如何缓冲学校社区劣势对学业成绩的影响。结果支持复合剥夺理论，强调表现较差的学校位于资源较低的社区。此外，学校特色和邻里资源匮乏与较低的数学、英语和科学学业成绩有关。此外，我们发现社区资源与数学和科学学业成绩之间的联系在经济支持更大的学校中最强。我们通过确定多方面的方法来挑战教育差距，解决学校和社区层面的劣势，以改善青少年的教育成果，从而为研究和实践提供启示。
Schools in urban neighborhoods receive less funding, have less programming, and have poorer infrastructure. Such disparities may impede academic outcomes among youth. This study used publicly available data to examine the association between school characteristics and surrounding neighborhood environment on educational outcomes across three academic years among 132 schools in Passaic County, New Jersey. Further, we assessed how schools’ socioeconomic status could buffer the effects of a school’s neighborhood disadvantage on academic outcomes. Results supported compound deprivation theory highlighting that lower-performing schools were located in lower-resourced neighborhoods. Further, school characteristics and neighborhood resource deprivation were associated with lower math, English, and science academic performance. Additionally, we found that associations between neighborhood resources and math and science academic outcomes were strongest in schools with greater economic support. We provide implications for research and practice by identifying multi-faceted approaches to challenge educational disparities addressing school and neighborhood-level disadvantages to improve educational outcomes for youth.
