Abstract
Schools have historically been the great equalizer in the American landscape—the “ticket out” for youth struggling to overcome conditions of adversity and poverty (Pianta & Walsh, 1998). For immigrants to the eastern seaboard, schools were safe havens where children learned English, received public health services, and became literate and employable (Pulliam & Van Patten, 2007). As each wave of homesteaders moved west across the country, schools popped up alongside the newly broken sod. Universal access to public education has been a defining feature of the North American culture, and schools are fertile settings for promoting the intellectual, psychological, and personal competence of youth (Masten & Coatsworth, 1998).
