The inequality of the American educational system has been a concern for decades specifically, with regards to "minority" children from low income backgrounds (LaPoint, Ellison, & Boykin 2006). However, despite the realization of the problem little has been done to level the playing field for these children. Instead, the achievement gap continues to grow and far too many of these children are still performing at unacceptable levels in the U.S. public schools. If we continue to turn a deaf ear to the realities of this problem we will only continue to do a disservice to our communities and our future leaders of tomorrow "our children of today." Working from that premise this study explored a random sample of ninety-three African American low income middle school students in the southeast region of the country. A student survey was administered that assessed perceptions about the students' attitudes and beliefs about their own ability to complete certain tasks (e.g. ability to take care of themselves, express themselves well, etc.,) self efficacy; how involved their parents are in their educational process (e.g. availability to help with homework, expectation that they will do well in school etc.,) parental involvement; and instructional practices that are used in the classroom (e.g. meaningful learning, critical thinking, learning communities, and cultural relevance etc.,) classroom practices. Additionally, district wide standardized math and reading test scores were collected for the sample and paired with the survey data to explore how well the independent/predictor variables (i.e., self-efficacy, parental involvement, and classroom practices) relate to and/or their ability to be good predictors for the outcome variable (i.e., student achievement: math and reading score). The results of the study yielded interesting findings that have the potential to have great implications at helping to identify key variables that show a relationship with and have the ability to predict math and reading achievement for low income African American middle school students.
