Author(s): Mark Hogrebe, Lydia Kyei-Blankson, Li Zou

This research examines the relationships between a variety of school, teacher, and student variables at the building level of analysis across St. Louis region school districts. GIS is used to give geospatial perspective to variable relationships and reflect the social-cultural context of the neighborhood communities in which the schools are located. This ongoing research is part of The Center for Inquiry in Science Teaching and Learning (CISTL) St. Louis Regional Database Project that provides information to schools and the community about indicators of student attainment at elementary, middle, and high school levels.
