Private Schools and Public Policy: New Evidence on Cognitive Achievement in Public and Private Schools.
Alexander, Karl L.; Pallas, Aaron M.
Sociology of Education, v56 n4 p170-82 Oct 1983
Because research by Coleman, Hoffer, and Kilgore did not control for differences in achievement levels for students when they entered public and parochial schools, their conclusions are flawed. Reanaylsis of their data show that, when student selection is controlled, there are only slight differences in cognitive and achievement test results. (IS)
