This article reviews the existing literature on school social work outcomes. Analysis of variance results indicated that number of school social workers was a significant predictor of the number of students who completed high school in the 100 largest school districts in the United States in the 2008–2009 school year. To assess whether number of school social workers remained a significant predictor while controlling for district size and poverty rate, a multiple regression was computed. Number of students, poverty rate, and number of school social workers were significant predictors of high school completion. This article shows that the number of school social workers in a school district positively influences the number of high school completers. School districts with school social workers had more students completing high school, indicating that the knowledge and skills that school social workers bring to the school districts can lead to better educational outcomes. This article underscores the need for additional research relating school social worker efforts to educational outcomes. This study could be replicated in states where data sets, which include the number of school social workers per district, already exist. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research systematic review tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
