Abstract
Despite the growing recognition of the importance of high school students’ sense of
belonging in school and positive effect grit can have on individuals’ successes, research is
needed to deeper explore potential relationships between students’ senses of belonging
and grit, along with a closer look at the varying types of schooling belonging in existence.
Correlations indicated moderate relationships between school membership and peer
relationships, peer relationships and teacher acceptance, school membership and teacher
acceptance, and peer relationships with grit. This study provides information about
statistical differences between students with parents of varying educational degrees and
sense of belonging, along with relationships among various types of educational belonging.
