Twenty African American, Latino, and Biracial/Multiracial high school students comprised the sample. Further, the study critically examined students‘ perceived barriers to academic success, as well as those identified factors that enhanced their school experiences. The findings indicated that meaningful relationships with family and the Upward Bound program staff, and high aspirations influenced students‘ perceptions towards learning and achievement, whereas school policies, lack of school and community safety, and negative relationships with school personnel contributed to poor school experiences. Implications for educators (e.g., administrators, teachers, and school psychologists and school counselors) and parents are discussed. 2011-07-20 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1303854797 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1303854797 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
