Developing an Index of School Quality.
Ashworth, John; Papps, Ivy
Education Economics, v1 n2 p185-96 1993
Discusses ways to involve parents in a system to measure school quality. Develops a school quality index based on a characteristics approach, rather than market segmentation. The method emphasizes how the "best" school may not be the most popular, since school quality must be isolated from the "price" of attending. A hypothetical comparison shows the significance of weighted characteristics. (MLH)
