Gary; Rodriguez, Nestor; Randall, Robert S.This thesis is based on 905 students in 150 classrooms for grades four, five, and six in the Houston Independent School District for 1977. Peer effects was added to a model developed by Dworkin (1987) that employed teacher, student, and campus effects to explain student academic achievement (gain score).
