Nelson, Larry P., McMahan, Sarah K. Torres, Tacia. (2012) The Impact of a Junior High School Community Intervention Project: Moving beyond the Testing Juggernaut and into a Community of Creative Learners. School Community Journal, 21(2), 125-144.
Summary: This two year study examines the impact of involvement from the adult community on a high risk junior high school in the southwest region of the US. Authors of study conducted a thorough examination, as the following article includes well presented and detailed graphs, statistics, and narratives that support their final conclusion. The findings show that community partnerships and connections not only increase attendance rates, but also boost overall school moral. The study also argues that an emphasis of standardized testing only hinders those healthy connections and limits school culture.
