Contextualization of School Examination Results 1992.
Kendall, Lesley
Educational Research, v37 n2 p123-39 Sum 1995
The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) results of 1,200 students in 9 British secondary schools in 1 district were subjected to multilevel modeling to derive school effectiveness measures. The relative ordering of schools changed markedly depending on the output measure and student factors. Ranking based solely on GCSE results was misleading. (SK)
