      ab: This article presents the variables affecting achievement of middle-school Mexican-American students. In addition, variables that appear to have special significance for students for an ethnic minority who have to learn to think and learn in two languages, and who are generally classed in lower socioeconomic level of society are also identified and description of these students are made in terms of these variables. The description was done in four broad categories: socio-economic, physical, psychological, and cultural aspects. Variables under the psychological category relevant to achievement in school are self-concept, expectations, aspirations, and motivations, anxiety, alienation, measured intelligence and other factors such as submissiveness and fatalism. In review of the cultural aspects of learning problems two perspectives are considered: the overall, general concepts of customs, value orientations and linguistic problems.
