Risk/Protective Factors

Students Who Seldom / Never Did Their Best Work at School

High School

By Gender

These results suggest that male students are more than twice as likely as female students to have never or seldom tried to do their best work at school during the past year.

High School

By Race/Ethnicity

These results suggest that more American Indian students have never or seldom tried to do their best work at school during the past year than any other race/ethnicity. The sample size for American Indian students was relatively small, however, so it is difficult to confidently compare their results to students of other races/ethnicities.

Middle School

By Gender

These results suggest that more male students have never or seldom tried to do their best work at school during the past year than females.

Middle School

By Race/Ethnicity

These results suggest that more American Indian and African American middle school students have never or seldom tried to do their best work at school during the past year than any other race/ethnicity. The sample size for American Indian students was relatively small, however, so it is difficult to confidently compare their results to students of other races/ethnicities.
