In a random sample of Baltimore school children over the first 2 years of school, there are no direct effects of parent configuration on marks or test score gains in reading and math with one exception: African American children in. singlemother families where other adults are present got higher marks in reading at the beginning of 1st grade than did their counterparts in mother only or mother-father families. Irrespective of family type, however, children whose families had more economic resources and whose parents had higher expectations for their school performance consistently outperformed other children in reading and math. These findings suggest that the effects of parents' psychological and economic resources that are correlated with family type go far toward explaining previous reports of schooling deficits for children from .single-parent homes, especially in the early grades.
