Part 1: Academic achievement, (average test scores in reading and mathematic) and the number of suspensions for each school under study

4.1. Introduction

This chapter presents the statistically treated data with its respective analyses, interpretations, as well as implications. It is at this juncture that relationships among the statistics gathered will be configured to illustrate rationality of derived results. Its impact will be largely significant in the development of principles and concepts in the next chapter. The questions identified in the problem were used as the basis for the presentation. The sequence of the structure includes table, analysis and interpretation of the data.

4.2. Presentation, Data Analyses, and Interpretation

This section presents the analyses of data of the academic achievement, (average test scores in reading and mathematic) and the number of suspensions for each school under study. The researcher tried to collect all the data possible, however, out of 14 schools only 8 complied. The eight schools were selected based on the available data especially in terms of academic achievements from SY 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 and the number of suspensions in each school.

One of the chosen schools failed to provide the researcher the number of suspensions recorded for the period. So, the number of schools was reduced to 7 for the school year 2006-2007. Consequently, the collected data from the eight schools for school year 2005- 2006 and seven schools for 2006-2007 were treated using Microsoft Excel and SPSS program. The results were further computed for percentage and Pearson Correlation for Independent Samples.
