Educational Reform and the Equivalence of Schools.
Bickel, Robert
Issues in Education, v4 n3 p179-97 Win 1986
Reviews school effectiveness literature and examines desired educational outcomes featured in contemporary social science research. Current educational reform efforts are unlikely to increase school effectiveness because socially ascribed characteristics beyond school control remain the most important determinants of students' academic achievement. Thus all schools are approximately equal in effectiveness! Includes 56 references. (MLH)
