Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The impact of familial characteristics on youth achievement has been of great interest since the Coleman Report. In recent years, racial differences in educational performance has been the subject of legislation. In this paper, I use a family-centered model to explore the impact of multiple social contexts on the achievement of black and white youth. I consider both the direct and indirect effect of family sociodemographic and interpersonal process characteristics on youth math test score and grade point average. The paper also explores if the effect of family sociodemographic characteristics are partially or wholly mediated through neighborhood, school and peer characteristics. I also consider if the impact of these characteristics differ for white and black youth. Using longitudinal data from Prince George�s County, Maryland, a middle class area outside of Washington, DC, I find support for the family-centered model. The results also suggests that although the family-centered model explains the educational performance of white and black youth, the mechanism through which family characteristics are mediated and susceptibility to different social contexts vary for black and white youth.
