Thesis (Ph.D.)--North Carolina State University, 2003.

Despite over 30 years of awareness, intervention, and research regarding race, class, and gender differences in educational achievement and outcomes, large differences still persist. These differences have a significant impact on the quality of life of individuals in terms of their educational opportunities, the type and quality of work they do, and physical and mental health. Research on these educational achievement gaps has been largely focused on schools or families. Policy efforts to address these educational achievement gaps appear to have had limited success and to be focused on schools. The purpose of this study was to examine a theory that conceptualizes the broader community context in which schools and families are embedded. Specifically, this study was focused on a specific policy question. Is relative inequality in employment opportunity in a local area related to relative inequality in educational achievement? Employment opportunity was conceptualized as both quality of employment and as earnings. This study was unique in that it (a) examined the variation in employment opportunity across communities and (b) examined race, class, and gender inequality as simultaneously experienced rather than as separate inequalities. I found that quality of employment was not a good discriminator of relative inequality as earnings. Relative inequality in earnings had the strongest relationship with relative inequality in high school biology and English achievement for Black and White males with parents with a high school education or less. Relative inequality in earnings also had a strong relationship with relative inequality in achievement for Black females with parents with education beyond high school. These findings were consistent in both hierarchical linear model analysis and ordinary least squares analysis. This study was limited by the available data and should be replicated using other data. Additionally, the full theoretical model should be tested to test the inequality mechanisms theorized.Subjects--Topical Terms:
