Student mobility and its relationship to academic success have been researched
since World War II with varied findings (Goebel, 1978). Establishing the relationship
between mobility and achievement is difficult due to the fact that mobility is related to
many factors. Mobility has been found to be prevalent among students who traditionally
demonstrate achievement gaps (specifically students of low-income status) (Long, 1992;
Smith, Fien & Paine, 2008).
Mobility’s relationship to achievement is complex. Led by a single definition of
mobility, admittance to more than one school in the given district over the period of one
academic year, this research study sought to determine the effect of mobility on academic
achievement. Specifically, the research focused on mobility’s effect on students classified
as low-income and the effect of school mobility level on academic achievement of its
students. This study used a quantitative design; student records were obtained for
mobility data, and criterion referenced test scores in mathematics and language arts were
utilized to measure academic achievement.
Findings revealed that mobile students performed below non-mobile students,
low-income status affected mobile students negatively, and mobility level of the school
attended had a negative effect on the academic achievement of its students.
