School transfers
were traced through the first five years of elementary school for
767 Baltimore (Maryland) children. Data on transfers, grade level
progression, special education placements, achievement, family circumstances,
and race indicated that school transfers were frequent, and patterned
along racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic lines. Findings indicated
that low income, minority children are challenged academically for
many reasons. (SM)
