Examined the
long-term effects of ability-grouped mathematics classes on 1,139
seventh-graders who participated in the Michigan Study of Adolescent
Life Transitions. The results revealed some negative and no positive
correlates at the tenth-grade level for low-ability students placed
in low-ability classrooms, compared with their peers placed in ungrouped
classrooms. (MDM)
