The paper aims at investigating the Synergistic Effects of Retention and Socioeconomic Status on Student Academic Achievement: Applied Dissertation, Nova Southeastern University, Abraham Fischer School of Education. ERIC Descriptors: Academic Achievement, Middle Schools, Educational Policy, Economically Disadvantaged, Socioeconomic Status.

Mandatory retention has been a standard practice among schools in the state of Florida. However, the effectiveness of the practice in terms of improving academic achievement among students appears to be inconsistent among empirical reviews of the literature. On the other hand, recent studies have pointed out that mandatory retention appears to be effective among students with high socioeconomic status (SES) but not on students with low socioeconomic status. It is apparent that the effectiveness of retention is somehow enhanced by SES. In this proposed study, the synergistic effect of mandatory retention and SES on students’ academic achievement will be investigated.
