The Relationship of School Characteristics and Bullying between Career Academy and Comprehensive High School Students
Fletcher, Edward C.; Dumford, Amber D.
Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, v28 n3 p306-325 2023
Violence--including issues of bullying--in urban schools across the United States is a persistent phenomenon, and continues to be of utmost concern for school administrators, community leaders, students, and their families. Using propensity score matching, we examined the relationship between school type--a magnet career academy and a traditional, comprehensive school--and students' experiences with bullying--observing and being a victim. We found that academy students--compared to comprehensive school students--both "experienced" and "observed" significantly lower levels of bullying. We believe it is likely that students at the magnet career academy benefited from a combination of factors, including their abilities to choose to participate in the academy, having peers with similar career interests, and the small size of the academy.
