Abstract: The Middle Grades Longitudinal Study of 2017-18
(MGLS:2017) is the first study conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) to follow a nationally representative
sample of students as they enter and move through the middle grades
(grades 6-8). The data collected through repeated measures of key
constructs will provide a rich descriptive picture of the academic
experiences and development of students during these critical years and
will allow researchers to examine associations between contextual
factors and student outcomes. The study focuses on student achievement
in mathematics and literacy along with measures of student
socioemotional wellbeing and other outcomes. The study includes
students with disabilities for whom descriptive information on their
outcomes, educational experiences, and special education services are
being collected. The MGLS:2017 Main Study (MS) Base Year (MS1) data
collection took place from January to August 2018. The Main Study First
Follow-up (MS2) recruitment, which began in began in January 2019, was
approved in December 2018 with the latest update approved in May 2019
(OMB# 1850-0911 v.21-23). This submission is to conduct the MS2 data
collection from January through July 2020 (when most sample students
will be in the eighth grade).
