Abstract | This study uses a representative sample of 3050 twelfth grade students from 18 schools to examine the ways in which the socioeconomic composition of a school is related to its students' educational plans. The basic premise investigated is that students attending schools with a greater proportion of high socioceconomic status (SES) students are more likely to go to college than those attending schools with a large proportion of low socioeconomic status students. Related theories and research studies are reviewed. A model is presented which focuses on three possible influences: (1) school climate; (2) peer relationship; and (3) placement in a college preparatory curriculum. This model is analyzed to distinguish "contextual" from "compositional" effects. Results indicate that the"contextual" impact of a school's average SES level on student educational plans is minor.
