Using data on 1,757 middle and high school students froma nationally representative sample, relationships among youth perceptions of neighborhood characteristics, parenting processes, and their own school behaviour, attendance and grades were tested using structural equation modelling. A model with direct neighborhood effects on self reported educational behaviour as well as indirect effects mediated through perceptions of supportive parenting and parental educationa support fit the data well in calibration and validation samples. Perceived neighborhood social disorganization exerted a larger effect than did family processes on self - reported educational behaviour. The importance of including measures of neighborhood environment in future research on educational outcomes is discussed in the context of their substantial contribution in the present investigation.
