The relationship
between initial school functioning and subsequent mobility was examined
among 2,524 low-income elementary students. Data were collected
on academic, behavioral, and school adjustment. The students were
then trailed for three years; during this time mobility was observed.
Most mobile students had poorer initial school behavior and adjustment
and tended to be from single-parent families. (Author/SM)
