  Rezumat:  Our paper presents the results of research that was aimed to adapt to a Romanian context the School Success Profile questionnaire, designed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (USA) by G. Bowen and J. Richman. The Romanian research team assumed that school success in Romania is influenced by similar social-contextual factors as it is in the United States. The paper shortly presents the goals of our project, the theoretical background of the SSP as we understand it, the process we went through to adapt the instrument, the sampling for the Romanian data set, the dimensions of the evaluation, and the psychometric qualities of the survey for the Romanian sample. Each of the social environment dimensions (school, peers, neighborhood and family) have a significant effect both on school attitudes and behavior, and on personal beliefs and well being. Data also revealed significant associations between demographic variables (gender, ethnicity, residence, school level, income) and respondents’ school performance, thus raising the question on how the identified inequalities can be tackled.

Keywords: The School Success Profile, ecological perspective, education, inequalities
