Early Childhood Longitudinal Study [United States]: Kindergarten Class of 1998-1999 (ICPSR 3676)
Released/updated on: 2013-08-08
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1998-01-01--1999-01-01
The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS) program provides national data on children's status at birth and at various points thereafter, children's transition to nonparental care, early education programs, and school, and children's experiences and growth through the fifth grade. ECLS also provides data to test hypotheses about the effects of a wide range of family, school, community, and individual variables on children's development, early learning, and early performance in school. The Kindergarten Class of 1998-1999 addresses four key issues: (1) school readiness, (2) children's transitions to kindergarten, first grade, and beyond, (3) the relationship between children's kindergarten experience and their elementary school performance, and (4) children's growth in math, reading, and general knowledge (i.e., science and social studies), and their progress through elementary school.

The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-1999 (ECLS-K) focuses on children's early school experiences beginning with kindergarten through fifth grade. It is a nationally representative sample that collects information from children, their families, their teachers, and their schools. ECLS-K provides data about the effects of a wide range of family, school, community, and individual variables on children's development, early learning, and early performance in school. This data collection contains the wave of data collected in the spring of third grade (2002). The third-grade data collection includes information about the diversity of the study children, the schools they attended, and their academic progress in the years following kindergarten. Other variables include child gender, child race, family background, childcare, childcare arrangements, food security, hours per week in child care, socioeconomic status, household income, highest level of education for parents and students, parents' employment status, teachers' evaluation practice, and usefulness of different activities in the classroom.

Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Wide Range Achievement Test, Wave 1, 1994-1997 (ICPSR 13605)
Released/updated on: 2006-03-01
Geographic coverage: United States, Chicago, Illinois
Time period: 1994-01-01--1997-01-01
The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) was a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families, schools, and neighborhoods affect child and adolescent development. One component of the PHDCN was the Longitudinal Cohort Study, which was a series of coordinated longitudinal studies that followed over 6,000 randomly selected children, adolescents, and young adults, and their primary caregivers over time to examine the changing circumstances of their lives, as well as the personal characteristics, that might lead them toward or away from a variety of antisocial behaviors. Numerous measures were administered to respondents to gauge various aspects of human development, including individual differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. The Wide Range Achievement Test was designed to measure reading recognition, spelling, and arithmetic computation.
