Knocking on Kindergarten's Door: Who Gets In? Who's Kept Out?

Walsh, Daniel J.; And Others

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v6 n1 p89-100 Mar 1991

A five-year longitudinal study examined initial placement decisions of six Virginia districts with junior kindergarten programs. Relationships between placement into regular or junior kindergartens, and socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender, and age are analyzed. Young, poor boys were more likely than members of other groups to be placed in junior kindergartens. (SH)
