Note. Diff. = difference; SD = standard deviation; SES = socioeconomic status.

a

The difference in the predicted probability of a higher than normative ninth-grade math class for youth with and without a learning disability within each race-SES group.

b

The difference in the relationship between a learning disability and math course placement (“Diff.”) in estimates that do and do not include ninth graders not in a math class (respectively, the left and right sides of the table).
