Mathematics achievement in the secondary high school context of STEM and non-STEM schools Academic Article

abstract

• AbstractThe purpose of this study is to compare students mathematics achievement growth rate in Texas science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (TSTEM) academies to students mathematics achievement growth rate in traditional public high schools. Fortysix schools, 23 of which were TSTEM academies and 23 of which were matched nonSTEM schools, were included in this study. A hierarchical linear modeling method was conducted. The result of the present study revealed that there was no difference in students mathematics achievement growth rate in TSTEM academies compared to students mathematics achievement growth rate in comparison schools. However, in terms of ethnicity, the results indicated that African American and Hispanic students in TSTEM academies outperformed African American and Hispanic students in comparison schools on their mathematics growth rate.
