Abstract
The purpose of this study is to descriptively analyze the students referred to the pre-referral process in one New Jersey suburban school. The pre-referral process used in this school is a pre-referral intervention committee.
The sample size consists of twenty-one students from elementary school grades kindergarten through grade six. The descriptive data was obtained by developing a coding instrument and coding data from student files. The major method of data analysis used is percentages.
This study yielded the following findings: a majority of the students referred were boys, the total sample scored below average on all areas of standardized tests, a majority of the referred students had a history of similar school problems, and most of the students were referred to the committee for either behavioral or academic reasons.
