Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to examine the factors contributing to the academic journey of adolescents in the foster care system. The specific objection of this analysis is to review different barriers that effect the academic outcome of youth. In addition, this study examines the impact of placement stability and positive adult relationship with a greater focus. This study includes a qualitative content analysis with an extensive literature review of scholarly peer reviewed articles with the dependent variable of academic outcome. The significance of the findings is the complexity of resolving the issue. The research discovers interventions that have been implanted addressing each specific barrier. However, additional research is needed to understand the educational gap amongst foster care youth, and to explore challenges that rise in the lives of these adolescents.
