    (Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement, 2011-03) Gordon, Molly; Peterson, Kristin; Gdula, Julie; Klingbeil, Dave
    Beginning with the junior high school movement in the 1920s and continuing through the middle school movement in the 1960s, educational researchers have investigated the impact of school transitions and different grade configurations on a variety of student outcomes. In this report, we review the most salient empirical research to date on how school transitions and different grade configurations impact student achievement and behavior, as well as student psychological and social-emotional outcomes.
