Abstract	Using data from the Educational Longitudinal Study (2002), this study employed latent class analysis (LCA) to explore the relationship between students' engagement-related dispositions and their behavioral engagement in home, school, and community activities. The primary aim was to identify and describe the engagement characteristics of distinct subpopulations of students. Our higher-order LCA models yielded five subpopulation profiles of students' social-ecological engagement. In contrast to extant participation-identification models, these new profiles suggested that the relationship between students' behavioral engagement and their school-related identities and dispositions is nonlinear and nonhomogeneous. This major finding recommends comprehensive school-community improvement models as well as nuanced interventions that are tailor-made to fit the engagement needs and identity-related characteristics of each student subpopulation.
