| Popis: | This study investigates whether class-level school performance affects students&rsquo life satisfaction and if there are differential effects for high- and low-performing students. Data were derived from the National Educational Panel Study, including n = 5196 students (49.6% girls), nested in 478 classes and 250 secondary schools. School performance in class was measured by aggregating individual grade point average in Mathematics and German. The study could not reveal the &ldquo big-fish-little-pond&rdquo effect regarding students&rsquo life satisfaction but found differential effects for high- vs. low performing students. There was no significant association for low-performing students attending classes with higher class-level performance However, low-performing students revealed the lowest life satisfaction. High-performing students placed in classes with higher average performance reported lower life satisfaction compared to high-performing students in classes with lower average performance. This study provides evidence for the impact of the learning environment in class on school-aged children&rsquo s life satisfaction, by highlighting the differential sensitivity of high-performing students when placed in classes with higher or lower average performance. |
