Homework may also be used to close achievement gaps between students, resulting in more homework for some.34

In the School Improvement Research Series, a comprehensive study also asked the following questions: Does homework improve achievement? Does the amount of homework matter? When comparing the achievement of students who were given homework to those who were not, 14 of 20 studies showed effects favoring homework. Interestingly, grade level played a dramatic role. High school students in a class with assigned homework outperformed fellow students who did not receive assigned homework by about 70 percent. In junior high school, the difference was only 35 percent. In elementary school, there was no discernible difference. Also, out of 50 independent studies, 43 (86 percent) indicated that students who did more homework had better test scores or class grades. Once again, a strong correlation with grade level was apparent, and the patterns were consistent over time. (See tables 3.14 and 3.15 and figures 3.5 and 3.6.)35
