Abstract Details

2024, Doctor of Education (Educational Leadership), Youngstown State University, Department of Teacher Education and Leadership Studies.
This study explores associations between the number of Medicare-certified hospitals and emergency rooms and student performance on the Ohio State Tests in English Language Arts and Mathematics for third graders enrolled in Northeast Ohio schools in 2019 and 2023. This secondary-research study uses archival data to investigate correlations between topographical and location features (rurality, Appalachian status, ESC) and individual variables (gender, race or ethnicity, economic status, English language learner, homeless, disability) and student achievement. The use of Pearson Zero-Order Correlation analysis determined that no association is present between number of Medicare-certified hospitals and emergency rooms and student achievement in Northeast Ohio. The analysis supported significant, negative correlations between student achievement in ELA and mathematics and the individual variables of Black, NonHispanic, Hispanic, Multiracial, economic disadvantage, ELL, homeless and disability. There were no interaction effects between independent and dependent variables. This research supports the need for future research into associations between alternative forms of healthcare, such as pop-up clinics, and student achievement, given the prevalence of alternative healthcare services in areas of Northeast Ohio that do not have adequate hospital or emergency room access.
