By studying three public high schools in America, Nunn shows how different measures of student success shape their students’ specific definition and attitude towards personal academic outcomes. These microcosms of American values provide valuable insight into the nuances of community cultural beliefs about success, hard work, and intelligence, and the role those each play in upward mobility.
