Are private schools really better?

Categories: Classes

A new study casts doubt on the "common-sense" assertion that students in private schools score better on achievement measures than public school students. The study finds that, when controlling for the socio-economic status of students, public school students perform better. It also discusses which type of private schools have higher-achieving students.

The study can be found here.
