Sažetak
Earlier research findings indicate a significant association between students' low socioeconomic status and conduct problems. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the academic achievement expressed in overall grades and the estimated financial status of elementary school students who are suspected of having behavioral difficulties, as perceived by their teachers. In 125elementary schools across Croatia, classroom teachers assessed 1345 students suspected of having behavioral difficulties, either in the classroom or during out-of-classroom activities (e.g., vacations, extracurricular activities, field trips). On average, the teachers indicated that 1 to 3 students per class, of whom 4/5 were boys, are suspected of having behavioral difficulties. In addition to academic achievement determined by the student's overall grades, classroom teachers rated students' financial status on a three-level ordinal scale (below average, average, and above average). The study findings indicate that parents of students with very good and excellent overall grades and behavioral difficulties have better financial status in comparison to parents of students with behavioral difficulties who have inadequate, adequate, and good overall grades. This study's findings contribute to a better understanding of students with behavioral difficulties and may help plan the prevention of further adverse psycho social development and school failure.
