Not on Track to Apply to College: School Punishment and Taking the SAT Presented: New Orleans LA, American Society of Criminology Annual Meeting, November 2016 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: American Society of Criminology Keyword(s): Arrests; College Enrollment; Educational Attainment; School Suspension/Expulsion; Tests and Testing Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Studies have consistently shown that school punishment has negative consequences on school academic achievement. Students that are suspended and arrested are more likely to have lower math and reading scores and drop out of high school, and are less likely to enroll in a four year-university. It is important to further understand if individuals that experience school punishment or involvement with the criminal justice system are taking the steps to apply to a four-year university. The SAT exam is one of the standardized tests used by many four-year universities during the admission process. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, we examine if an arrest or suspension impacts a youth's likelihood of taking the SAT exam. The preliminary results suggest youth who are suspended and arrested are less likely to take the SAT. |
