The present study investigated number and nature of school psychological referrals in a black, lower socioeconomic, “inner‐city” school system. Unlike earlier investigations, this study demonstrated statistically significant sex and/or developmental differences in stated reason for school psychological referrals. Results were examined in terms of suggestions for the training of school psychologists as well as in light of several theoretical issues in urban education.
