Kindergartners
and first-graders in regular classrooms were compared to students
in nongraded, continuous-progress settings. Comparisons on academic
achievement and school attitudes indicated differences favoring
nongraded, continuous-progress settings for various academic and
citizenship skills. Girls in the nongraded, continuous-progress
group had significantly higher positive attitude scores toward school
in several areas. (SM)
