Planning Ahead in a "Market" for Schools: Predicting Patterns of School Choice.
Gorard, Stephen
Evaluation and Research in Education, v13 n3 p132-43 1999
Uses responses from a large-scale survey of school choice in South Wales to predict the type of school that respondents will choose based on their personal characteristics and the choice criteria they report using. The developed models, based on responses from 1 parent and a child when possible from 794 families, are about 90% successful in predicting which of 3 types of school will be chosen. (SLD)
