Book Description
This study was completed to analyze the grade point average of students who participate in athletics compared to the students who do not. The statistics for this research were from a suburban school district's 2015 graduating class of 393 students. Microsoft Excel and A Statistical Program (ASP) were used to analyze the data provided from Power School. A t-test was used to challenge the null hypothesis. The results showed that student athletes (3.28) have a significantly higher GPA in comparison to non-student athletes (2.98).

Book Description
"The purpose of this study was to evaluate the grade point average of student-athletes versus non-athlete students. The research question proposed was "is there a significant difference in GPA between student-athletes and non-athlete-students?" The data was collected from suburban districts in Missouri and Arizona. A Statistical Program (ASP) and Microsoft Excel were used to analyze and produce the data. A t-test was used to challenge the null hypothesis. The study proved that there is a significant difference in GPA between student-athletes and non-athlete-students. The average GPA of student-athletes was 3.56, while the average GPA of non-athlete-students was 3.40."

Book Description
With the rapid and steady growth of athletic participation, it is important that student athletes excel in the classroom and on the playing field. However, as the pressures of being a high school athlete grow, educators must seek better ways of supporting student athletes and help them understand the importance of their education. The purpose of the study was to determine if male students who participated in athletics had higher academic achievement mean scores than male students who did not participate in athletics. The study focused on measuring the cumulative grade point averages (GPAs), Algebra I end-of-course (EOC) test scores, and English II end-of-course (EOC) test scores for all male students. A causal-comparative research design was used to examine the differences in the academic performance of the male students who participated in high school athletics and those who did not participate. The research study was conducted using existing data from three high schools in Mississippi for 234 male high school students. There were 118 non-athletes and 116 athletes. Findings from the study revealed there were no statistically significant differences in cumulative GPAs, Algebra I EOC mean test scores, and English II EOC mean test scores for athletes and non-athletes. However, there was a statistically significant difference between African American male students and White male students for the mean scores of the cumulative GPAs and English II EOC test scores. The findings of the study revealed academic achievement was not affected by athletic participation. Recommendations for future research include conducting focused research on African American males and other minority groups and the implementation of high school academic support programs for student athletes.

Book Description
The purpose of this study was to analyze the grade point average of student athletes versus that of non-student athletes. The research conducted produced answers to the following questions. "Do student athletes have a higher GPA than non-athletes?", "Is there a significant difference in the grades of athletes and non-athletes?", and "What effects do athletics have on student's grades?" Statistics for this research product were provided by a Midwest suburban school district. Microsoft Excel and A Statistical Program (ASP) software were used to analyze the provided data. A t-test was used to challenge the null hypothesis. Findings from the study indicated that there was a significant difference in the GPA of athletes vs. non-athletes. The group of athletes was determined to have a higher GPA, averaging 3.25. The non-athletes averaged a GPA of 3.01, significantly lower than the athletes.
The Handbook of Research on Black Males

Pages : 818
Book Description
Drawing from the work of top researchers in various fields, The Handbook of Research on Black Males explores the nuanced and multifaceted phenomena known as the black male. Simultaneously hyper-visible and invisible, black males around the globe are being investigated now more than ever before; however, many of the well-meaning responses regarding media attention paid to black males are not well informed by research. Additionally, not all black males are the same, and each of them have varying strengths and challenges, making one-size-fits-all perspectives unproductive. This text, which acts as a comprehensive tool that can serve as a resource to articulate and argue for policy change, suggest educational improvements, and advocate judicial reform, fills a large void. The contributors, from multidisciplinary backgrounds, focus on history, research trends, health, education, criminal and social justice, hip-hop, and programs and initiatives. This volume has the potential to influence the field of research on black males as well as improve lives for a population that is often the most celebrated in the media and simultaneously the least socially valued.

"College Athletes' Rights and Well-Being covers major policy issues in collegiate sports and seeks to address the issue of college athletics from the perspective of the athlete's well-being. It is written for those who seek to enhance their understanding of the intercollegiate athletics landscape. This textbook is intended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, though scholars, teachers, practitioners, athletic administrators, and advocates of intercollegiate athletics will also find it essential. The book is arranged into 16 individual chapters that cover a range of topics on college athletes' rights and well-being. It is not exhaustive, but the editor believes that current concerns, challenges, and themes of relevance to higher education researchers and practitioners will certainly be well addressed" -- Provided by publisher.
