Another Side to the Coin: The Unintended Effects of the Publication of School Performance Data in England and France.
Karsten, Sjoerd; Visscher, Adrie; De Jong, Tim
Comparative Education, v37 n2 p231-42 May 2001
Publication of school rankings based on raw data for various performance indicators was found to influence school choice and mobility strategies for elite and middle-class parents in England and France. Rather than promoting school improvement, publication led to unintended school coping strategies, such as marketing activities, student exclusion or streaming, and overemphasis on test preparation.
