Abstract
This study examined the relationship between student engagement and educational outcomes for community college students from various racial/ethnic groups (n = 3,143). Results suggest an Effort–Outcome Gap may exist for African American students—the result of having to expend more effort in attempting to overcome myriad barriers to academic success.
